I submitted my last final paper yesterday which means this semester is officially over (I definitely didn't use a typewriter for my assignments, but I think I would have had a lot more fun writing if I had). August feels like a really long time ago and my state of mind has definitely changed a lot in the past couple of months. I have to fight the urge to want to speed up time because I know that college is such a tiny part of my life and someday I might wish I had savored it more.
During the first week of fall classes I felt completely overwhelmed and so stressed out. I wondered how I was going to make so many decisions about life after undergrad when I was so unsure of what I even wanted to do. Thankfully, I avoided a meltdown and throughout the past couple of months things have slowly started coming together. I wouldn't say I've reached clarity, but I feel like I'm moving towards it.
In between juggling classes and managing post grad decisions, I was able to have a really fulfilling volunteer job, take numerous bike rides, attend several football games, visit Orlando to celebrate my birthday, and have many other awesome experiences that I'm really grateful for.
I feel like it's taken me four years to settle into this rhythm and become familiar with living here. In one more semester, I'll be on the verge of ending one part of my life and starting another. It's extremely exciting and also terrifying. The important part isn't that I'm ready for these changes, but that I'm willing to try something new. And I think I am.
