THERE are things that happen in life that allow us to know who we are and who we are going to be. In many of our cases, we started out with our own small friendship groups that stuck together, through "thick and thin." This usually stays like this for a while. Through the years up until high school ceases to exist, and then life seems to elaborate upon itself. We as humans begin to develop our true personalities now. Our friendships often begin to branch off, and we create new ones. Ones that are sometimes more fitting to who we really are. People change for the good and for the bad. I will begin to give a few examples of such incidents in the following writings.

Allow me to introduce you my beautiful reader to a man named Andrew VanHorn. A crazy man. A man that used to be, well a man of the country, a man of the hillside. Residing in the beautiful country hills of western U-S of A. A man known to frollick about the grassy valley's with a worrie not even at close proximity. He was never known to fall away from his friends or away from the group hangout. If you were to give him a jingle on the blower, he would be there in the crack of an Austrian whip. However, a woman stepped into his life. For quite a while, worry and woe frequented his door step. But we stopped buggin' him now. We, meaning his friends. We are now comfortable with the fact that his official name change to Mandrew has taken place and his presence is felt less and less around us. But the change is evident, and the change is true.

Miss Bethany Snyder fell off the face of the earth once college began. Work and academics overwhelmed her, and took place of the genuine hang out time that was well apart of all of our lifes. She studies hard and works hard. This leave little time for other things. However, she is becoming a stand up kind of girl that knows how to seperate work from play. A + Bethany.

These are two prime examples of what is going on these days. It's true and it's real. Whether its a new girlfriend or the increasingly high pressure of the work world weighing down upon your shoulders like a sack full of wet and angry cats, we are brought to one conclusion. Overall, change is for the better. We must press on and greet change with an open hand (ready for shaking) and pat on the back, and quite possibly an "atta boy." Thanks change, for not skipping out on this generation. Keep on keepin' on. Enjoy Yourself.
