The end...already?

I feel like I just got here...and I'm packing up to move out of a residence hall for good...

I was driving back to campus for the last time last night, and it hit me once I hit a main road to campus that it was the final time...did I cry like a big ol' baby? You bet...

I'm sure a lot of people don't know this...but I considered transferring home after my sophomore year. I was unhappy, and wanted to be closer to home and the people who will always care about me the most: my family. I stuck it out, and here I am, 2 years later, packing up my room and getting ready to ride off into the big scary real world.

While packing, "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts came on my computer...I wouldn't have become the person I am today without my family's love and support. When I wanted to give up, they were always there to keep pushing me, especially when I wanted to toss in the towel.

My mom, my biggest inspiration, always performs Joan Baez's version of "Forever Young"... yep, I cry like a baby every time...and it just so happened that it came on my computer after Rascal Flatts..coincidence? Sure...

A lot of "finals" this past week...aside from the usual exam...I found that most of my grades for the semester are better than I was even expecting, so yay for being motivated and putting in all that work! :) I had my final final at 2 today, and when I walked out of that classroom, I felt...weird...where do I go from here? I still have to submit my graduate school packet, due August 1, and have to get myself settled into moving home and living home life...but I mean...what do I do now? I won't be returning here anytime soon, and I think that makes me sad...there are a lot of memories here on this campus, and I will always hold them near and dear to my heart...for everyone who was a part of them, thank you, from the bottom of my heart... I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for the experiences here at Bridgewater State...

As I pack up one chapter and move to the next, I get excited for the future and what it holds for me...I can't wait to see what it brings...I just to put my faith in God that he will get me through every day as he did the last, and there will be no stress :)

To all my fellow graduates, congratulations on completing college...now the real party begins...enjoy the ride people :) there will probably be one or two more posts to close out this blog...thanks for reading :)
