If you are in college, Please read this and leave advice and feedback in the comments. If not,
It is just beginning to dawn on me that this is it. We are on our way to becoming adults. In a few months, we will be on our own in a new city, a new state even. The rules will be different. The people will be different. It is quite unnerving, but at the same time, thrilling. I am excited for the new endeavor.
Even still, I cannot help but think about all the people I will miss. Most of my friends are people who I have been raised with at least half of my life. It will be hard to know that I cannot just call them and ask them to come over or hang out.
On the other hand, I will have the opportunity to put all the negative people of my past out of my mind. I will no longer have to hide who I am in an effort to please or fit in. I can leave the past in the past and move forward.
I look at this as a chance to grow. A chance to start over and be EXACTLY the person I want to be. With no one to say how I use to be, it will be easy to define my new self. I can be who I am with no thought.
With that being said, for all of you who may have a stigma to your name or feel that you cannot escape the label that you have made for yourself in your high school careers. Here is to college! The opportunity to start a new with no pressure to suppress who you really are.
Embrace the journey. And don’t be afraid to journey alone. You may be able to uncover things about yourself that you never knew existed.
