It’s crazy to think that four years can go by so quickly. It feels like just yesterday I was applying for college, trying to decide what I wanted to major in, what color scheme I wanted my Freshman dorm room to be and how I was ever going to make any friends in my classes.
It all goes by in a blink of an eye, and somehow here I am — a senior in college getting ready to enter the “real world’ in less than a year. There is a lot to think about, like: Where will I be in a year? Will I even have a job? Will I have moved out and be on my own?
But, that’s the thing. All of that is uncertain, and somehow I have to accept that. Somehow I have to get through these last two semesters of college with a million potential scenarios and “what ifs”.
I think feeling this uncertainty is normal. Everyone goes through anxiety and has the same thoughts run through their heads. This makes me feel a little bit better, to know that what I am feeling is somewhat universal between my friends and the people around me.
This isn’t to say that I am not also feeling extremely excited for my final year and my soon-to-be entrance into the “real world”. My four years of hard work are coming to an end, and all the knowledge and experience I have gained are finally going to be put to use.
