That’s what this time of my life is all about, right?

Exciting changes look like this:

  • living in MAINE this summer
    • working for a company that I already love
      • doing an internship in a field I know (almost) nothing about
  • gaining a new sister (Courtney and Areyán will be getting married in November!)
  • slowly, I work my way through the Harry Potter series
  • there are three weeks left in my third year of college
    • senior year!!!!

 

Scary changes look like this:

  • there are three weeks left in my third year of college
    • senior year!!!!
  • feelings for a person that evolved without my cognizant initiative
  • it may not be until November that I will see Nani again
  • watch the docuseries “Our Planet” for a whole list of scary changes
  • my hair is growing  much more slowly than usual

 

Inevitable changes look like this:

  • there are three weeks left in my third year of college
    • senior year!!!!
  • i learn more about myself everyday
  • our lawn needs mowing
  • the sun is beginning to again provide more than light to our days

Knowing that I was growing up.

Part of growing up, I realize, is that metaphor of closing the chapters. I am learning that opportunities only exist up until a certain point in life. That, regardless of the steps I take to keep my options open, the world of which I am a part keeps moving, the universe in which this world exists keeps expanding and the clocks continue ticking. The vastness of what is to come becomes smaller in some ways; the me of the past occupies more space as the me of the future occupies less.

The feeling that my life was happening while I was removed from it.

This is something friends of mine also experienced. It is something difficult to describe. This will be a boring update.

Basically, I’m part of several organizations at school, networks of friends and family and a near-constant presence at the on-campus coffee shop, Beans. Knowing these things were all continuing without me there was both reassuring and disappointingly humbling to the ego.
