Today I was talking with Nyya about what we should do for Spring Break. Something cheap and fun, and just like a day trip. Nothing fancy, just something to create memories. Nyya made a comment about how after this we only have one spring break left. I hadn't thought about it that way. (Hopefully I will graduate next May.)
But, it got me to thinking about the future and where we are all going to be. Who knows really. I may be in NYC or somewhere in California...or maybe even just a few hours north and in Nashville. There's no telling where any of us will be after graduation. It's actually a really sad thing to think about.
With high school graduation there was so much to look forward to, moving out of the house, being able to do whatever I want whenever I want, staying up late with my roomies, going to parties, being an adult.... We were able to make a name for ourselves away from people we had known for years. In high school you get stuck with one idea of who you are...and once people think you are that type of person there is no breaking away from that. However, in college it's all about finding yourself. figuring out who you are and you can change and have people respect that and like you for it. When you graduate high school your future seems so bright and exciting.
Graduating from college is a completely different story. Now I have to think about paying back student loans and moving away from everything I have known for the last 8-9 years. It's completely terrifying. I find myself worried about what is going to happen. Where are all my friends going to be? Will we ever get to do things together again? Probably not like now. And, that's fine...it's all part of growing up. But, how are we going to make these adjustments in our lives to be able to succeed and not run away because we are afraid?
I don't know what the future holds. It might just end up being me stuck in Birmingham for however long. But, I do know that I'll be able to make it. It's going to be scary and there will probably be lots of tears and different problems that come up, but if I can make it through everything that I have been able to make it through during my college career I can make it in the real world.
The end of college is coming up fast and I need to start looking into potential jobs. One day I hope to be able to own a PR firm that specializes in lesser known musicians and be able to get them the attention they deserve. I think that's what my future career dreams are. But, for now I'll work at any PR firm or record label, because that would be awesome. Here's to finding a job...and making it through the transition from college student to full time adult.
I love y'all like mad! :)
