Nearing The End Of This Chapter Of My Life

Change is good, especially when you make it good.

With all the events and the fast pace that is associated with the end of a school year, I’m making sure that I’m taking advantage of every moment. I only have about a month left at this school, with the perks of living here and the friends I have here.

After Spring Break came and went, it really hit me that I’m going to be leaving soon to go to a new place to have new experiences. In some parts of this transition, I am fully prepared and ready for this change to happen, but in other areas, I’m not ready to take that step forward.

It’s so exciting to think about the great classes I’ll take and the great opportunities I’ll have, but the typical “new student” fears creep into my mind. Will I be able to make friends? Will I actually be able to do all that I want to do? Did I make the right choice to make this move?

Where I am right now, I’m not sure if all of my questions will be answered, but I do know that with both sides to this change, the good will outweigh the bad. Moving forward will be different than what I’m used to, but I have to take risks in order to find where I’m supposed to be.

With what I’ll be leaving behind, I’m making sure that I don’t forget about them. My friends, the environment, Charleston; I can’t possibly forget all the great memories I had here. I’m not entirely ending my connection to Charleston. I’ll see my friends again and I’ll visit Charleston again, but it’ll be different, which I’m strangely alright with.

With what I have to look forward to, it’ll make everything worth it. Why else would I have even thought about such a big change? There’s so much I’m looking forward to at Georgia that it just calms my worries about this change. Finally I’ll be able to study what I want, meet new people, go back to old hobbies, and get back to Athens.

Although I’ll be missing Charleston, I am so ready for this next chapter of my life. As each day countdowns to the start of my move, I hold my breath and prepare for everything that is to come. I am so thankful for what has happened for me, and for everything that is going to come.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
