Growing Up

It's my last semester here, assuming I pass all my classes. I hope I do. I'm graduating in December. That scares me so much. Almsot to the point of tears. But so many people have graduated and lived. I think I will too. Not knowing where my life is going is the scariest part. One question I have come to dread is "What do you want to do when you graduate?" My answer: "I have no idea. Get a job, and then see where else it goes." I always try to play it off as no big deal and joke about it. Truth is all this uncertainty makes me nervous. People keep telling me to start looking for jobs now. I know I should, but I really don't want to face the "real world." I don't really see how college prepares anyone for the real world.

I am the new BASIC Hospitality Coordinator for this semester. I know it's not a huge role, but it's something. It was perfect timing because I was really starting to feel like I didn't play a huge part in BASIC and I was starting to kind of feel insignificant. And now I get to play a slightly bigger role, which, to me, is very humbling. It was so great to see all the new people at BASIC yesterday. I just pray they all come back next week, and that even more come! I got to talk to pretty much everyone, which I was proud of myself about. Not in a "Look at me, I'm so awesoem way," though. I was proud because a year or two ago, I would not have had the courage to talk to all the new people. But I did. :)


I think I'll keep the rest of the stuff I wanted to write about to myself for now. Toodles!
