I entered college in the fall of 2007. As a freshman I thought I had the whole world ahead of me and I was ready to chase all the rainbows and kiss every frog. It's now the spring of 2012 and in these 5 years I've learned that most of the rainbows are illusions and all of the frogs are toads. I've also learned that your friends will change faster than the Texas weather and that alcohol isn't always the answer. I've done a ton of things I said I would never do and haven't done even more things that I promised myself I would. I haven't studied as much as I could and I've failed more tests than I care to mention. I've hurt people's feelings. I've broken people's hearts. I've made someone's day. I've spent too much money. I've stayed up too late.
If you would have asked me when I was a High School senior where I would be in 5 years I definitely wouldn't have placed me here at all.
I know that I am young. I know that I have a long road ahead of me. I have many years to accomplish all of my hopes and dreams, but when will the accomplishments begin?
I read a quote today that said, "I feel too deeply and want too much." I can't think of a better way to describe me.
No one quite understands what I want in life, the least of all me. I blame that on the fact that I want more than it is humanly possible to achieve in one lifetime.
So as college comes to an end I reflect back on my time here at college and I'm thankful for the good times I've had, a little weary about stepping into the real world and only slightly confident that I will live the life I want to live.
