Only a Little While Longer....

Wow, so here I am. I have somehow arrived at that moment I've been thinking about for so long. My last semester of college. I thought it would take me forever and a day to get here, but looking back remembering my very first day at USD, it doesn't seem like much time has passed at all. Yet, three and a half years later, here I sit. 4 months sit between me and the big bad real world. And while I know that I am ready to take on whatever life sends my way, I still can't wait to see what this semester brings. The only thing I can hope for is that for the next little bit, I remember to take it all in! I think that I will always be a kid at heart, but for the next little while I get to make kid mistakes. Pretty soon I am going to be on my own, without mom and dad to fix my mistakes after I make them.  

So here is the plan:

Make mistakes. A whole lot of them. I feel like I have made quite a few lately, but as long as I keep learning from them, than they will always be worth making.

Absorb as much information as possible. It is weird to think that this is the last time that I will be constantly learning new things day after day. As a nerd, this is a little sad. I know that I never stop learning, but being in a place where information is always new and exciting is going to be hard to leave.

Take a lot of pictures. This is the time ten years from now that I will still be talking about. It would be lovely to have embarrassing pictures to provide proof of the ridiculous stories I'm sure I'll have to tell.

Take advantage of every moment with the people I have here. This is the last time that all of us will be living in the same place with NO responsibility. I better take advantage with all of these amazing people that I have met.

And finally.... LIVE IT UP. No matter how much I am ready to graduate and live my life, I still am going to constantly remind myself to live in the moment and be happy. This is the time, my time, to be the happiest, funniest, best version of myself I can be. The only thing left to do is be it :)

See you again soon <3
