Well, finals week is here.
Praise the Lamb.

The semester has flown by and I can honestly say that my first semester of college has been a new experience.
I have learned what it means to work hard and to enjoy success from my hard work.
But I am definitely in need of a break because living at school has done its toll on me.
Let me explain.
I have cried, laughed, and napped all in the same day. Tasks that I thought weren’t emotionally possible for me to do in such a short time.
But besides the occasional emotional roller coaster, I am very thankful for the sweet friends that have laughed, stressed, and eaten a ton of Chic-fil-a with me this semester.
Now that I look back on it, the trials of late nights of studying for multiple tests in the same week were something that I needed to go through, even if I absolutely despised the situation I was in at the time.
I have consumed more coffee than I am able to count, but definitely prayed to God even more.
I have learned that only clinging to God in the tough situations like early classes, hard tests, or homesickness is not how my relationship works. That I am to long for Him even on my best days.
I now look through a blurry perspective when I think about my future and what is in store for me.
It’s somewhat exciting to know that one day I'll be looking through clear lenses, but also scary because before I know it, college will end and I’ll be out in the real world.
Hopefully prepared.
But who am I kidding? It’s only the end of the first semester out of eight.
My journey has just started.
But for now, peace out first semester.
