This Is The Switch Up

The bad news is nothing lasts forever, the good? Nothing lasts forever.

In my final weeks of my college career, I've been lucky enough to be going on interviews, going out a little more, and switching gears as a new phase in my life approaches. I've taken on experiences that I know won't last, meet new people that I know I won't talk to in a year, and solidified friends that I will have for life.

College gave me the identity I always wanted. The hard-worker, the go-getter, the make it happen, wonder woman, the OLIVIA POPE before she was on small screens across the globe. I'm quite grateful for that. I know I'll miss it, but I'm so excited to be those things somewhere else, to prove to myself that all the sacrifice to become this person was worth it. I've conquered college. It's time to climb a new mountain. Unlike everyone around me I've let the anxiety go and embraced the unknown. The unknown has hit in a lot of ways already. I've stopped trying to plan out every aspect of my life. Instead of saying no and letting the circumstnaces around me shape me, I've decied to say yes. Yes, to things that aren't in my wheelhouse, yes to feeling alive instead of hiding inside all the time.

2016 has really been a turning point. I didn't realize until earlier that I was prepping for it all along. Forcing myself into some of the best experiences has always seemed to be worth it.

College made me who I am right now, I'm so thankful for it. It was the captain of a ship that needed some well guided direction.

Everything in my life is about to change. Some good, some bad. Life can indeed be all about high's and low's, It's been that way mostly all my life. It's what I'm use to.

If you're leaving school, don't panic. It will all be okay in the end. Sometimes, you have to let go, let god, and be ready for a switch up. Be patient, be smart, and you just may fall in love with your life.
