Confessions of a College Student

Alright, so I've been inspired to do a blog by my good friend Mandi (who has a blog of her own which you can check out here) and so here I am.  What will this blog be about?  Well, pretty much anything.  School, work, friends, the ups and downs we have together, movies, television, books, food, exercise/nutrition (something I've started to get into), funny stories....pretty much anything.  I think it'll be a fun little read, but then again I'm biased.

So I'm sitting here and I'm watching it snow lightly outside and I can't help but think of how much I dislike the winter.  A lot.  I would ideally like to move somewhere warmer once I'm done with college.  And to think, that's only seven weeks away.

Seven weeks.

That's a single digit number (well, in weeks anyway.  In days it's a different story!).  Seriously where did all the time go?  It seems like it was just yesterday that I was at my orientation, nervous as can be and thinking that everything seemed so big and scary.  Now here I am, five years later and I know my way around both the campus and town like I've been here my whole life.  I only have seven weeks left and to be honest, it's a little frightening.  For the last five years I've created a little bubble of school and friends, that's pretty much it.  I also go to a small University, so that in itself is like a little bubble. Everybody knows everybody (or at least knows of everybody) and the professors and staff know us all too.  It's like a little safety net we've all had and it's about to get taken away from us.  Quite a scary thought!  So here we are, seven weeks away from having our bubble burst and having to float out into the real world.  Some of us will flourish while some of us will desperately wish we were still in college, living a carefree life.  Where will I fall into that?  Well I'd like to think that I'll flourish.  Sure, I'll look back on my college years fondly.  How could I not?  These have been some of the best years of my life, I've had some great times and met some great people and that is something I will have with me for the rest of my life.  The uncertainty of the future does scare me, but at the same time I find it a bit exciting.  I don't know, to be honest the whole thing gives me mixed emotions.

But at least I still have seven weeks to think about it.

Oh P.S. in case you were wondering, my blog title is a spin on the show "My Life As Liz" on MTV...I don't watch it anymore, but it was still an inspiration.
