Cheers to the School Year!

Well, I know it has been quite awhile, but I assure you that I am still alive and kicking. I have just been insanely busy working and wallowing in self pity about it. No, not really that, I just really haven't felt any inspiration to write lately. But here we are, at the end of August, and who knows how that happened. It was literally yesterday that summer was starting and now BOOM, Labor Day. Not bitter, just sad about how fast time goes.

Now when I was signing up for classes, I thought it was an amazing idea to go and cram 7.5 hours of school into one day. Now it hasn't been as bad as I was imagining, but it still isn't that fun either. Especially when each single class is 2.5 hours long. But that's life.  At least I'm done with school by Wednesday everyyyy week! So that's pretty baller. So far all of my classes are going to be really interesting. And this summer, after being told that I would make a good prosecutor, I've been thinking a lot about it. Law School. It kind of makes me cringe, but in a not so bad way. Funny how many career paths I've been down so far. And I'm only 21. A top notch business woman, a sad and depressed social worker, a juvenile probation officer, an adult  probation officer, a correctional officer, a police officer, and now maybe a lawyer. I am truly glad that I choose the right majors. There are so many paths I could potentially go down, and from the way things have been going, I may just run down all at once, crossing from one to the other, overlapping and just enjoying where the ride takes me.

It is still easy for me to think about my decision to transfer in a negative way. I still feel a twinge of longing when I see peoples pictures at school and see all my friends, or used to be friends, just going about their business in the college way. And then I come back here, and I look at all I've been able to do. In some ways, I don't feel like I'm in college any more. I'm a working adult female working towards a career without digging myself into a hole at the same time. I'm able to work a full time job while taking 18 credits. I'm able to make new friends every single day, and experience something new every week. I've been told a lot lately that my life is like a sitcom. And the more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards buying a flip camera and strapping it to my head, because it really is. Sure, most of my life is just a regular working girl going to school, going to work, going to yoga, blah blah blah. But when things happen to me, they don't happen half-butted. (Yes, my norm for butt would be more offensive, but I'm working on being more "lady-like", I even shaved my legs last night. I know, the world truly is ending....) Anyhoo, off topic. I feel as if I am more prepared for what is going to come after college. I still get to go out, I still see people, but I'm not leaving my left leg and half an arm behind at Metro. I leaving with an education, and a dang good one at that.

So for all of you freshies out there, just moving into you closet sided dorm with your psycho of a roommate and brand new XL sheets, don't settle. Just because you think you have to be there doesn't mean your locked in. If you don't like it, change it. You only get to do this once. So enjoy it. Make it all it can be. Never stay in a Friday by yourself, go explore, have some PG fun. I know you've heard it a million times, but this will flyyyyyy by. So hold on and just try to enjoy every minute.
There you go, my wad of cheese for the post.

Enjoy this awesome start to the school year tune. Here's to knowledge.
