I understand. I am in your shoes, too. You are scared and overwhelmed, and you are doubting yourself because you are just afraid that all your dreams might actually come true.

All your life, you always said, "when that happens..." or "if that happens..." and now you are actually like "oh, that meeting is scheduled on Tuesday," or "guess what happened yesterday." Now you aren't sure what to do or how to feel. Just remember, if you can dream it, you can do it.

It's okay that you are scared because it means you care. If your future scares you that means you know in your heart you can do it. Just don't forget the important things along the way.

Don't grow up too fast.

Even though all this happening, and it may seem to be all happening at once, don't forget that you are still young. You are working towards all these goals because you want this for your next chapter, but do not let those goals and aspirations take over this chapter now. There are only so many nights you can stay up with all your friends, drinking excessive amounts of wine, while trying to get assignments done. Enjoy it.

Enjoy the little moments.

People that are crossing your path now will most definitely be the people who are celebrating your first job offer with, or will be by your side on your wedding day. Enjoy the moments that you have left. Once all these dreams come true, there won't be every many little moments left with the people that helped make them happen.

Take a deep breath.

It's overwhelming, nerve racking, and your anxiety is probably at an all time high. Just take a deep breath. There is only so much you can handle at once, but just remember don't try to handle too much. Taking a deep breath will help calm your nerves, and it will allow you to think straight.

Be proud.

Everything happens for a reason, and you worked hard for this. Be proud of yourself because you did this. All these dreams are coming true because you made it happen. Many people in this world never reach a dream or a goal because of some awful circumstance, but you are for a reason. Always be thankful and proud of that.

Dreams aren't just dreams anymore. You are growing up. Maybe a little faster than you anticipated, but it is happening- right now. So hold on tight. I know it is frightening, but remember to appreciate this life because many people would do so much to have it.

Be bold, be kind, be brave.
