Last weeks Spring Break seemed to go too fast. This seems to be a trend when you are enjoying something. When I reflect back on my week and think about how fast it went I found myself thinking about more than the past week of my life. Where did the past four years COLLEGE go?! I can hardly believe another chapter of my life is about to end begin. I do not know what I am going to do, where I am going to go, what to expect. I would be lying if I told you I was not scared, because I am terrified! Despite this fear I can not help but be excited. This FEAR anticipation is often distracting and makes me wonder how I am ever going to get these last few weeks over with. I was talking to a good friend of mine about this earlier this week and she told me that it was a scary thing. Shel, too was nervous, but she then offered me some advice that I thought was worth sharing. She told me that there are so many unknowns in life. We never know what tomorrow is going to bring, let alone the next six weeks. She continued to state that it is for this reason that we have to carve a path based off of what we do know. By thinking about life on a smaller scale it does not seem so scary. Although I am not sure where I will be at the end of the summer, I do know that I am going to finish college and want to live in Colorado following graduation. I have reflected on her advice for a couple of days and have really taken it to heart. Since these words I have felt a little more at ease as graduation draws nearer.
I really appreciated you post this week! It is so strange because I literally have been having the same conversation this past week with my roommates and family. Like you said, I am beyond scared for what the future holds. It’s hard to imagine my life without the aspect of school in it. Life is strange that way, you spend all your life attending school of some sort and then all of a sudden its over and you are supposed to know where to go in life, all at the age of 22! With that being said, I could not agree more with the words of advice your friend offered. I too believe that life is too short and too unpredictable to waste time worrying about things that are out of your hands. So now I have been trying to approach these last few weeks with more excitement than anxiousness and know that everything will work it’s self out in time!
