I'm not prepared to leave this bubble called college. Usually I consider myself to be an optimist and almost always look on the bright side of tough situations. However, this whole coming to an end thing has been a bit of a struggle. The last time I felt like this was during my final few weeks of study abroad in London. I had become so accustomed to my magnificent life there, the idea of leaving was truly heartbreaking. Now as I suffer from a severe case of senioritis that old familiar feeling has returned. Although I must say, as this journey comes to an end and change burns bright over the horizon, I have found a new appreciation in being a college kid. I came up with a short list of different things I will miss:
1. Impromptu dance parties with your friends.
2. A never-ending supply of cereal available around the clock.
3. Sleeping in. Enough said.
4. Going to class and learning. (Ok, I know thats kind of an obvious one but I truly love being in that environment. Discovering, Analyzing, Arguing.)
5. Chance ( the co-founders of this game will understand what I mean)
6. The first time it snows/ first day its shorts and flip flop weather: It brings the entire community out of their cave-like dorms and onto our beautiful campus. Everyone seems to be genuinely happy, a Christmas morning kind of happy.I love it.
7. Being able to live with some of your best friends. It really is so perfect, as my one friend puts it "college is one long slumber party".
I can go on, but maybe another time. Over the next few weeks I'm sure I will spill my guts on what I will miss and how freaked out I am. Although I have made it a rule to not worry. (Easier said then done, I know) But honestly worry will get you no where in life, maybe some premature grays and wrinkles. But thats about it. So for now I will carry on and attempt to remain worry free. However, one immediate worry I cannot escape is not hearing my alarm go off to watch the royal wedding at 4am. So off to bed I go.
