From 4 months to 14 days the semester is quickly coming to an end. My JUNIOR YEAR is coming to an end (wasn't I in highschool...yesterday?) and at the end of this school year Europe awaits, new adventures may unleash new identities and memories will be made.
I felt somewhat obliged to pull out to blog, not only because two 19 year old women in the bodies of 50 year olds were obnoxiously gossiping next to me, but because I was virtually

It's surprising what a face pressed up against a window peering at the clouds and watching the sun sett can do to you. How much one can absorb, the many directions the mind can wonder, and the appreciation for so much seems to unfold.
It's unreal to me that another year has passed by. For me it's one year closer to graduation, but for many of my friends it's the last few weeks sitting in a classroom and close to the beginning of an entirely brand new book called, real life.
I'm realizing I'm coming across a common theme in a lot of my close friends lives right now and I can't help but tell them the same thing about this perfectly imperfect part of "reality". Being a twenty-something year old and coming up on our last year of college we tend to be dealing with some of the biggest changes in our life - some more life altering than others, but regardless, in these years we are readjusting and ultimately...truly starting our lives. Friendships have been built, you've finally named your favorite go-to restaurant/bar for the weekends and like that, those four (eh, lets not kid ourselves, five) years have flown by. Some have a new city in front of them that they are set to go and it's time to go find that next favorite place in what could be your new home. The unknown is nerve racking of course, but even better, the unknown is exciting and endless of possibilities. The expansion of ones self-identity is at hand and nothing can be more thrilling than realizing the growth these 20's have in store for us.
We, us little juniors, may not be experiencing these changes yet, although people close to us are. Not only does it remind us what is so close in our future, but saying "see you later" is just one of those obstacles friendships come with. As these close friends may move on and start that new book of life, keeping in mind our own goals and big dreams is important and will in fact make one stronger as you find it hard to say that goodbye.
I guess this may be my one year early reassurance post to myself that moving away and starting a big girl life won't be too scary - going home for a weekend and realizing how freaking old you've become does this to you!
.....and now that I've sufficiently made an attempt to remind myself to chill out in life
happy monday, go get some Frozen Yogurt and let the finals studying commence!
