Well I just graduated from a 4 year undergraduate institution. My life as i've known it for 4 years is gone, just like that. It's suppose to be this achievement but I feel like something that was mine! was taken from me... Well it could be the fact that I was so comfortable of having an escape after each summer at home. And now that I don't have that to look forward to, well it kind of stinks. Even though I was an adult at college I was still a college adult! Now that i'm done i'm a adult, its the real world somewhat, and i'm not looking forward to it! I'm beginning my masters in two weeks in the state that I've been living in for 22 years! I should be happy about graduate school but temporarily I am not! My plans and focus right now are to go part-time to school and hopefully get accepted at out of state graduate schools for the spring. I will also be applying to graduate schools that begin in the fall of 2011. Meaning i'll get to know before hand if i'm accepted and maybe even move to that state and get to know the city i'll be living in. It's a big step leaving everything i've known for 22 years. But change is good right. Change is important, it's important not to be comfortable. I want to go somewhere new where I know nothing and no one, and no one knows me. I want to learn about a new location, it's culture, it's people, being able to explore, network and most importantly grow! Some people may not understand this decision, but most are supporting me 100%. I've spoken with a few adults who say 'I have no regrets in life, but if I could do it again, i'd travel, i'd study, live elsewhere.' Therefore what more proof do I need. I don't want to be one of those adults, regretting something, regretting a new experience. I have some regrets in life and I know how it feels to regret and it's not a good feeling. Therefore i'm not going to focus on the negativity on the subject or how it'll feel leaving what I know and those I love. I'll focus on that when the time comes. Right now, I have goals, plans, dreams, that I have to put into action. When all this is done i'll let you know. And when I have good news I'll keep you posted... When I have bad news... I'll keep you posted as well..
Wish me Luck...
