Finals week is here.
My last finals week.Ever.
...or at least until I go to grad school...if I go to grad school.
WEIRD.
It's strange to think that in 5 days I will leave behind the only form of life that I have known for the past 17 years and enter into the foreign world of....ADULT. *shudder*
I'm sure it's not really that bad. And, to be completely honest, I think it's going to be a refreshing change from the crazy of college. Not that I don't love crazy, or search for it. But I can't say that I will miss staying up until 4 studying for an exam or writing a paper. Nor will I miss the part about racking up massive amounts of loan debt (although now I get the privilege to pay that debt off...hmm).
That being said, this ending is bittersweet for me. Sweet in the sense that I will finally get to be really independent (after I finally find a job and move out of ma 'n pa's house of course) and get to finally put into practice all of the things that I have been learning about. Bitter in the sense that this life is leaving me and there is nothing that I can do to change that. Even going to grad school right now wouldn't change anything because I would be leaving behind this wonderful community of people whom I have relied upon for the past 4 years. We've grown together, suffered together, cried together, and gone on vacations together. Saying goodbye is definitely going to be difficult, but I rejoice in the fact that I have all of these memories with some of the most incredible people ever. Like staying up until 4am on a regular basis my freshman year just to chat, last minute camping trips and weekend vacations, watching Las Tontas con la Naty, and suffering through Senior Seminar with the best support group ever.
Everybody that I've come into contact with has helped to shape my life and I hope to never forget them. May the Lord bless everyone's paths as we approach the cliff of graduation and jump into the unknown.
Catch you on the flipside!
