Reality check.

As the semester winds down, all of these thoughts and feelings are starting to hit me. I am almost done with college. Freshman year seems like it was just yesterday. Man I was so excited to get away and move to Minneapolis and go to a prestigious university like the U and now I am in Brookings finishing up my degree at good ol' SDSU! I never never thought I would be here right now.

Ahhhh the freshman experience...and yes that is redi-whip.

But everything has turned out quite nicely. I know I could have made it at Minnesota, but it just wasn't quite right. In the end, I am really glad that I came to SDSU. I have met so many great people and experienced so many great things here. Besides the winters, I really can't complain.

Yes there have been ups and downs along the way, but I made it. I went through some tough times here; first real heartbreak and various disappointments to name some. But everything I've been through just shapes me into the person I am today and I happen to like that person. I have learned so much and am grateful for the bad and ugly experiences that came along with the sweet and happy experiences.

This is a little reminiscent and that's what I wanted it to be. Soon I get to venture out into the real world which is terrifying. (I don't care what anybody says.) I just hope the world doesn't crush me too hard and I make my way through the transition with some ease. I know it will be a big reality check when I actually have to start to pay for my own insurances and bills, along with student loans. How wonderful.

I knew this was coming all along, but maybe just thought I would feel a little more grown up and prepared...but are we ever really prepared for anything? I always hear the best things in life happen when you don't expect them or are unprepared, so maybe this adult thing won't be so bad.


Senior year and so grown up(?)

So bring it Sioux Falls (at least until the end of August) and then who knows? I have no definite plans yet for after my internship, but everything has fallen into place slowly thus far and hopefully it will continue to...
