A Year From Now, Where Will You Be?

First, I want to say thank you to Keaulani for starting the blog off with inspiring words and second, I want to thank Ms. Fletcher for totally taking me off guard when she commented on Victoria’s post from period three about how her dog uses her as a napkin. It made me giggle. Anyway, as I have been reading the posts from the other students I realize that we all have the same two words in common: stressed out. But we are also all reassuring each other that no matter where we are placed on this planet in a year from now that it will be okay. We are all thinking the same thoughts and asking the same questions. How far do I want to go? Do I have any idea what I want to do after college? What classes will I have to take in order to accomplish my major? Will I have enough money to pay for college? Am I prepared to go out into the world on my own? Most of my answers to these questions are I don’t know and I bet the same goes for most of you.

Well, these application deadlines are right around the corner and I am slightly freaking out. College is the only subject that has been roaming my brain for the past month now. I am lost, afraid, anxious, and excited all at the same time. What I am most scared of, in all honesty, is leaving. I have lived in the same house my entire life and seen the same people everyday since kindergarten. I am afraid to leave you guys and go off to a new place with new faces. I am beyond comfortable here, yet I also don't want to pass up this amazing opportunity to see a different side of life and see what else the world has to offer outside Lakewood, California. I don't know where I am going to be a year from now, most of us don't. Either way, enjoy these next few years of freedom, meet new people, go for the job that you have been dreaming about, but most of all love every second of it.

Thank you guys for listening to me vent about what has been racking my brain. I am here to listen to what you guys have to say as well. Thank you for these wonderful years at Mayfair and thank you for all the great memories that I can now cherish forever. Now let's make this last year an amazing one.
