I honestly can’t believe I am already a senior. It seems like just yesterday I was heading to San Diego for the first time and desperately hoping I had made the right choice and would be happy at school. Luckily I did choose right and instantly fell in love with USD, more than I ever thought I could.
While sometimes I wish I could just abandon the real world and go back to the protected environment that is my hometown, for the most part San Diego does feel like home now. Sure, my family or house isn’t here, but I have definitely settled into the city and look forward to coming back “home” after a break.

Although senior year just started, I already feel pressure to make some major life decisions about post-grad, the most important being where do I want to live. Once again I am faced with a decision that will have a huge impact on my life, just like picking a college.
At the time picking where to go to school seemed like one of the most important decisions of my life, but now I realize it was simply a baby step introducing me to the real world, where I have to be an adult and fend for myself. I feel confident though that I’ll be able to make the right choice, because this time I am going to trust my instincts – they’re what brought me to USD, my second home, and for that I will always be grateful.
In the mean time I am ok with not having a plan for after graduation. Sure, I know tons of people with full time job offers that know exactly where they’ll be in a years time, but that’s just not me and I am fine with that. After all, senior year is supposed to be fun, a last hooray before heading into the real world and never looking back, and I’m not going to let the lack of a post-grad plan deter from that.
Eventually I will find my way, and so will everyone else, and until then, I’m just going to enjoy the ride, after all, you only get one senior year.
