As I take a look back at my college years, we all wanted the years to fly by. Now, that it has come close to the finish line, it makes you question, what is all of the rush about? We work hard in school to rush to get out of college in order to be able to keep up with the next plan for our future, but in reality, what do we really have planned?

We graduate early so we can start working at a job that we do not completely love. We rush to get married because we think that is the right thing to do. We rush to have children because we think that is what the next step is. But, if you pause what is the "right" step to take?

I am 22 years old in my final semesters of college. I could lie to you and say that I have my life all planned out and I know exactly what I want to do. I do have a plan but will that plan be truly met? Being in college has taught me that it is okay to slow down. It is okay to not know exactly the path you want to take.

Social Media is the Ultimate Killer Cell Phone

You scroll through social media and you can't help but compare yourself with others. I sit at home alone and watch Netflix, while others are cooking dinner for their spouse, I am still going out on Thursday nights while others are staying home watching their kids. Again, I raise the question, what is the rush about?

It is an awesome feeling to be completely ready for those things, but at 22 years old I am still figuring myself out. People are known to say, "college is the best four years of your life" (In my case five.) I had to accept that it is was okay that I would not be graduating right on time as planned. It made me realize that I had a plan, but it did not go accordingly and I am 100% okay with that. But, if you take a step back just remember there's no rush in life. When it is your time, it will be your time.
