I have officially made it to the halfway point in my undergraduate college education and it leaves me with a strange feeling. I am not quite sure what I am supposed to be feeling at this point in my life. A lot of thoughts are swimming through my mind and it seems really over whelming, but I think if I had to put all that into words it would go something like this:

I am really proud of myself for getting this far in my college career. I have been through some ups and downs and I know how hard college can be for our semi-adult brains. When I entered college as a freshman I saw nothing but a sea of endless opportunities in front of me. I thought everything would be so easy once I was done with college. While I still see opportunities abound, as a newly rising junior, I have been through loss of friends, meeting new friends, being in the Honors program but having to drop it due to grades, dropping my second major, adding a Photography minor (which I love so much), having classes with teachers I love, but also with teachers that didn't match my style, getting accepted to my GO Long (Barcelona yay!), and so much more that now I see a much, much smaller and different set of opportunities more fit for the person I have become and will still grow to become. I even know what I want to do with my life which I had no clue when I first began college. I have found a field that puts together both my major and minor and I think I could really have fun in it, I'm not going to lie I am scared to leave college. I am so glad to have two more years to find myself and learn as much as I can before being unleashed on the real adult world but I have definitely learned a lot in the last two years that I am glad I can take with me in the future.
