I can honestly say I have never been as happy and as terrified as I am right now.

I'm finishing my last semester full of classes before I go into a field placement, and that means that there are only six months between me and the end of my undergraduate college experience.

Six months. That's all the time I have left.

At the end of that six months, I'll be saying goodbye to most of my friends I've made in the last 4 years, and goodbye to all of the experiences that have made these last four years some of the best in my life.

That's the bittersweet part of my story.

Letting go of these people and this place will be one of the hardest things I have ever done. I know things will be different on the other side, and for me? Change isn't something I handle spectacularly well. Everyone will be leaving this place and it might be some time before we all see each other again.

However, I feel like I'm almost ready to go.

As this season of my life (getting my undergraduate degree) comes to a close, another one begins.

Soon enough, I'll be starting into my graduate degree, and while I'll still be in school, things will be a lot more serious. I'll be one step closer to being out in the field full time and being able to help people on a level I never thought would be possible for me.

I'm going to miss the fun I had and the friends I made during my undergrad, but I think it's honestly time to move on. Yes, letting go will be hard, but I am continuously reminding myself that what awaits me on the other side will be bigger and better.

I'll always hold a place in my heart for the people I have come to know and love here, and the love I have developed for this place. Nothing will ever be able to replace that.

Right now, I have to prepare myself for the leap of faith that comes with the end of this chapter. I have to leap into the unknown and believe that whatever happens, I'll be a better person in the end.

I'm putting it all in God's hands now, and I'm letting go.

So here goes nothing.

Look out world, here I come.
