As some of you may know, I recently graduated high school. While it still doesn't quite feel real... it is... I have my diploma. As soon as I walked up the stairs to meet my family, they asked me something. "Do you feel any different?" I pondered this question. Was graduating supposed to have this instant effect on me as a person? Eventually I came to my conclusion.
No, I believe you aren't supposed to feel any different instantly. Some people may, but I for sure didn't. Technically nothing has changed. All of the underclassman are out of school as well, so it just feels like a summer vacation. I won't really hit me till I'm in my dorm room my first night-away from my family- staying up late talking with my roomie (shoutout to Mia). The title of this post is very important. High school wasn't the best four years of my life. I am thankful for the experiences and relationships I formed, but I have recently realized there is so much more out there than Beavercreek High School. This isn't an end... its just a beginning. I have many aspirations in my life. Become a nurse, travel the world, and even eventually have a family. It excites me knowing that now that I am a graduate I finally can start pursuing my dreams. Last night at 11:50 I took my OSU math placement test. Crazy summer night right? I had completely forgotten about it.... and it was due at June 1st. I powered through however and came out with a decent placement. I then continued to choose my classes for my first semester as a college student. The whole time I was smiling from ear to ear. Instead of fitting some curriculum, I finally could choose what I wanted to study. Having that power made me feel hopeful. After my graduation party, I had made some hefty cash (thanks everyone that came, love you all). I sat there deciding what I wanted to do with it. And then it hit me. My first big purchase with my own money was going to be a suitcase. Lame I know, but hear me out. Some places I plan on traveling in 2017-2018: Daytona Beach, Florida, Brazil (to visit THE Scarlet Coe), Alaska, Spring break somewhere, Chicago, and many more places. So, what better first adult purchase than a nice suitcase to bring with me everywhere. Trust me... it makes sense. One downside of all of this change is leaving some very important people in my life. This current post is not meant to be sad, but hopeful. I will say my goodbyes when I actually have to. But one goodbye I am happy to make is to high school. Goodbye high school, and hello college.
