Senior year thoughts: the journey is almost over

I came to college expecting nothing and I am leaving with so much

465

I am right in the middle of my senior year of and I feel so excited I am excited to close this chapter of my life I am just happy to see what the future brings. Life may not be perfect but I'm happy and it's my senior and that is what matters. I am so thankful to God for the life He's given and I am can't thank God enough for life and for just the everyday small blessings.I went into my senior year of college with the intention to be happy and have the best senior year. I am so thankful to have a do over from my disastrous senior year and graduation. I don't want to sound repetitive or seem like I am stuck on a moment but I am so thankful to have my senior year of college and be able to have the do over I feel like I need. I've always wanted to have the senior year of my dreams. My senior year of high school was almost perfect up to the end of the year. However towards the end things began to derail and I lost the chance to have my dream summer and to close my senior year and the chapter of high school in my life. But I am so thankful for second chances college has been the second chance I needed. Everything I wasn't able to do in high school I got to do in college. In the big picture of my life I want to look back and know my last year of college was memorable and that I was able to close the book fully. I always regret not being to close my high school chapter on my terms I didn't get to do it my way. For me being able to control my own story is of very high importance. I always want to finish things on my terms. It may not always be possible but I will always try my best do things my way. To have closure in my way. I want to close the book on college my own way and have the full closure and have all the experiences I want. I never went into college expecting anything I didn't think of it as a do over for high school but as I am nearly complete with my journey in college I realize that college was a blessing for me and it was meant to be a do over for me and the opportunity for me to be my best self and live my best life. Everything that happened, was for a reason my whole journey in college has been for a reason. As cliche as it sounds I can speak that my life and journey in college is a testament to the cliche quote that "everything happens for a reason". My whole journey in college has been like a whirlwind but in a good way. I went in expecting nothing and I feel I am leaving STAC with so much.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
