Well, what is this crazy experience called college? Going into my junior year of college is strange to think about. One more year 'til graduation, thinking more into the future, and balancing the daily trials and tribulations.
As cliché as it may sound, but I remember moving into the dorms just like it was yesterday. Being so overwhelmed by everything. Trying to wrap my head around of the social norms and different perspectives of my peers. It’s crazy to imagine life after college where the real time to thrive is critical. A full time job, marriage, kids you name it. One day you dream about this moment, but that moment is today and suddenly everything just comes together in rapid speed.
It is very intriguing to me to explore how some of my friends from high school are now doing. Some got married, some have kids and others are still exactly where they are from the day we graduated high school. The people who have stuck around in my life since high school mean a lot being of the different avenues which could have been taken. It is easy to let go of a lot people after high school.
Being one year closer to graduation means the stress of figuring out what to exactly due after college is ever-present more than ever. No more opportunities are missed because a mistake as such could lead to a rather costly one. Thus, meaning there is no more time to change majors to paths. Now is here.
As the days go on thinking about the future seems to be more of a causality rather than an anomaly. It is more present than ever. What do you want to do with your degree is the new norm now.
It is weird to think this one big wild ride called college will all come to an end one day. Till then I will be savoring every minute of it. Junior year will prove to be the best one yet.
