It's over.
My college career is officially over.
My advertising presentation is over. (we lost to the slacker group)
Exams are done.
Graduation is Saturday.
I can't believe it.
Things are just so melancholy, though. It's odd to think that I'll never be in class ever again. I'll never walk miles around campus, grab a quick lunch at the KUC, or hang out in the lobby of the mass comm building ever again.
It's even more depressing to think that this is the last night in my apartment. I've been living with my best friends for so long now. Andrea, Kristin and I have been living together for 2 years. Trina and I have lived together the past year and were across the hall from each other in the dorm our sophomore year. I'm going to miss being so close to those girls. I'm going to miss the random trips to Dairy Queen, reading page after page of Kristin's elaborate stories, and making fun of the shuttle drivers.
Is it sad to say that I'm REALLY going to miss my room too? I love this room. I've spent so much time (and money) making this room a reflection of who I am. From black and white photos, to gerber daisies and Eiffel towers---this room is just me.
Yup. The fact that this is my last night in the apartment, I'm feeling a little down, it's after 2am, and I'm listening to John Mayer all come together to mean that I'm just mindlessly rambling right now. sorry.
On the brighter side, graduation is just a day away. I picked up my cap and gown on Tuesday and was surprised to find out I'm graduating cum laude! The lady handing out cap and gowns checked my name off the list and said very apathetically, "ohh, you're graduating with honors...." and slapped a white sash on top of my cap and gown. yeah, buddy!
Even though I'm waiting for graduation to make this all sink in and seem real, I know it won't happen. It didn't happen during my high school graduation, so I know it won't happen now. It's so hard to realize that I'm completely done with school. Not only that, but I'm about to be a married woman. Those two things are just beyond my comprehension.
I have no doubt that as some doors in my life are closing, God is opening up many more. I've realized more than ever this week that God can present amazing opportunities to you when you least expect them. Whether anything actually happens with those opportunities, you still learn something from them. God has certainly reminded me to always be ready for what He has planned. I may not be totally prepared, but I at least need to be alert and know that things could change at any moment. I also have to work to be faithful in the little things before He can trust me with the bigger things (Luke 16:10). (I might sound a little cryptic right now, but just pray for a potential opportunity that God just set before me and Kevin.)
*sigh* When exactly did I grow up? I think I blinked and missed it. |
