As I was sitting in the car on the way home for Spring Break, I couldn't believe it was already March. It seemed like I was just coming home for Christmas break. My junior year is almost over, which is crazy and some of my best friends only have months left as college students. I wish that sometimes time could just slow down.

Everyone told me college would go by fast but I didn't believe it. I wish I could go back to my freshman year and tell myself to savor every moment of college. I think that a lot of us would do this if we could, especially those who are closer to graduating.

Why does time have to go by so fast? Is it because we are so busy with work and classes? Is it because we are getting older? The thought of getting older is actually scary. Yes, grad school does put off the real world for another two years, but after that you are a real person.

I might not be a senior yet, but the thought of the future is kind of scary. I think we all know sort of what we want for our futures at this age. It just seems like every step is so important and we get nervous when we realize we don't have it all together. It's ok, that we don't know exactly what we though and we question some of our choices, we are supposed to at this age. Everything will fall into place though eventually.

We can plan as much as we want for our future and but things might turn out different than we expected. There is a quote from the movie Love and Basketball I really like, " It's a trip, you know? When you're a kid, you-you see the life you want, and it never crosses your mind that it's not gonna turn out that way." The older I get the more I understand that quote.

Despite all this, I just wish time would slow down and college could be a little longer.
