Well I might be a little over dramatic with the title considering I do have it pretty easy living with my parents and getting everything handed to me...well not everything but you get the gist. I guess what I'm getting at is the question I'm asking most at this moment "I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUMMER?!" It seems like all I do now is consume my life with work and school and nothing else! These 7 am classes and dreadfully long days at work not only take up all of my time but cause me to want to do nothing but sleep! All I see on facebook are all of my peers having loads of fun and living their life to the fullest it seems like! Being an "adult" can defintely suck at times. Too many responsbilities and definitely not enough time to be young and have fun!
This ultimately leads me to another thought I've been thinking about lately "WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!" It seems like only yesterday I was in high school, cheering at football games, going to parties with my friends, taking road trips and all that, what I'd call now, luxury. My cheerleading days are over, no time to party, and I have limited vacations due to work :( You never realize when you're young how good you have it or how lucky you are to not have to worry about the things we worry about now. I'm now a sophmore in college and I can't believe it! Life moves so unbelieveably fast it often leaves me dumbfounded. It's even a little scary (yet exciting) to think that I'll be graduating college in the next 2-3 years then after that I'll be starting my career, getting married, starting a family, and creating a whole new life for myself.
Maybe all this work and no play will all pay off in the end? Who knows! I've learned that I should take life a day at time. There is no time to get angry or frustrated at the ones you love, no need to rush relationships, and try to enjoy the time left I have as a young woman. My future will unfold itself and who knows what it may bring but all I can say is that I'm so terrified yet excited to see what it has in store for me!
