What My Last Year Of College Taught Me

I will never be alone.

To my family and friends as I enter my last semester of college:

Thank you for your unconditional love and support. I would not have made it through the past 4 years without that from all of you. You have been the best support system for me, even through my changes of major/dreams. I will forever be grateful to you.

How did it come so fast? Only 15 short weeks stand between me and graduation. I will walk across that stage and receive my diploma. Moving back to school for the semester is frightening. I am both scared and excited. In 15 weeks, I will be entering the real world.

Saying goodbye to my family and friends from home for the last time is tough. Even though I have a car and can come home whenever I want, it’s still hard. Realizing that this is the last few months of being at college hit me really quickly.

I am looking forward to my courses, to graduation, and to whatever comes next. I’m scared of the “whatever comes next” but it can be anything I want it to be. I can make my life whatever I want it to be, the only problem is, I’m not sure exactly what I want. I want to do so many things that I am unsure of where my heart will take me after graduation.

While I am scared, I know that my support system will follow me into the real world. I know that no matter what I end up doing, I know that I will be able to lean on you whenever I need to. Thank you for giving me that in life. While I am scared, I am also excited for my future, because I know I will never be alone in what I do.

Thank you. I love you.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
