As these four years of college have come to the end, I can't believe where I am now. I wondered so much back then how my future would be like; I contemplated my future. There are moments where I remember high school like yesterday, but there are other times when the world of high school feels like ages ago.
I look at myself now and I can't believe how much time has flown by. I'm senior! Saying those words out loud or even in my head feels like a dream even though I'm here in this moment. Maybe because four years ago, the thought of graduating felt like a distant dream.
Soon I will be out into the real world trying to figure my life out. In high school, everything was closed off. I had no idea what exactly to expect after being in one place for so long. I didn't have any idea that these past four years would ultimately change my life. There is truth to when they say: college is the best four years of your life.
To the friends that I thought would be a part of my life forever, I know that life has changed. People have changed and I have changed. I learned that not everyone who came into your life will always stay. Everyone who has journeyed on this path with me whether for a short or long period of time has impacted my life. I wouldn't be where I am now without you. My path is always intertwined with the people I meet in this life.
I could tell myself four years ago to work harder. I could tell myself I would do everything over again. I'm grateful for all that I have experienced and done. I wouldn't change any part of my chapter.
You have done so much. Of course, there are things you should change, but never forget how far you have come from the person you were all those years ago. You have a destination and a future, don't let anyone tell you there's anything you can't do.
It's okay not to know. It's okay to be scared. Know that someone will be there to guide you. Know that you are an amazing person and will always do your best. Know that your future is extremely bright and no one could take that away from you.
