Life anymore is just plain busy.
So many things need to be accomplished before Graduation arrives. Regular homework, speeches, projects, internship work, intramural soccer games, wedding festivities (the two weddings of my best friends, mind you), preparations for this summer, job searching, and I am pretty sure that is only the top of the list. Here I must clarify that I am really enjoying my final semester here at SBU. I am doing my best to seize every opportunity to make great memories with my friends and to learn as much as possible before life changes in a very dramatic way.
Yet, I am now beginning to grasp the finality of the close of my collegiate career. There is no way to freeze time, no way to slow it, and most definitely no way to go back and relive it. Truth be told, I would not really want to do any of the aforementioned things and I am rather aware that what the future holds is exciting and mysterious.
I guess what is somewhat frightening is this whole idea of “growing up.” Being a young graduate, soon to be 21, I still feel as if I am fully discovering what my passions are and how I desire to live out my life. Though it is totally possible to continue on that journey once I am out of school and have a job I am still aware that it will be different. Different is in no way bad, but I suppose I am just trying to prepare for the transition.
Job opportunities rest heavily on my mind these days as well. It is really cool to finally get out there and begin to compete with everyone else in the job market. I feel very qualified with my coursework and internship experience under my belt. Since I will be away working camp in New Mexico and California (and perhaps even Canada) this summer it makes the job-hunt even more difficult. I pray that if the employer is impressed enough and I seem worthwhile as a future employee that they will be understanding about my summer plans.
Ah, things to ponder, plan for, and do. Only five more weeks until Graduation! Am I excited? I think I hit excited at the beginning of the semester and I am well past that point.
Until next time, peace in.
