Here’s to growing up

As the school year is coming to and end, I have been looking back at all that has happened this academic year. Some monumental things have happened in my life, well I think they are monumental at least!

As part of growing up, you have to choose who your friends are and aren’t. Have you ever heard the phrase ‘conditional friends’? That’s when someone who you consider your friend is only around when it is convienant for them. It’s hard to let those people go but life is short and who wants to spend it around someone who doesn’t enjoy being with you as much as you do them?

Another thing that has been monumental this year is deciding on a major. Yes I am a sophomore and didn’t know what I wanted to do until a couple of months ago. Hey, deciding what you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 19 is not the easiest thing in the world! There are so many opportunities and jobs out there that focusing towards just one was a little tricky.

One of the last things that have been monumental for me is the fact I have grown to love myself and who I have become. Now this may seem silly but this has taken me years to accomplish. There were always things I wish i had done differently and days when I wished I looked differently. Finally realizing that being me was the best I could ever be gave me such a peace inside.

Never wish you were someone else, there is only one of you in the entire world and that makes you ridiculously special! Never forget that no matter what!
