Don't Wish Time Away

"We were just wasting time

Let the hours roll by

Doing nothing for the fun

A little taste of the good life

Whether right or wrong

Makes us want to

stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for a while."

I can't count the times I have said, "I can't wait to be done with school" or " I can't wait until I am in the real world." However, now that graduation is less than 4 months away, I am not really sure why I spent so much time wishing time away. This time, it is precious time. Time you can never get back and time that can never be replicated in your lifetime. You really only have now, this moment, this time.....

Life is always like this. You want something to be over so badly so you can move on to the next thing..... but towards the end, you realize how much fun you are having and don't really want it to be over at all. The nature of the beast I suppose. Tonight at the basketball game, I realized how much I will miss times like those; surrounded by friends, laughing and having the time of our lives. College is a very special time in a person's life; full of growth, change, ups and downs. College is where you really learn who you are and how much you can really take. It is about being independent and stepping out of your comfort zone. It is about opening your heart and mind to new ideas and new people. College shapes you, forms you, molds you, and even transforms you.

I am thankful.... for so many things. These four years have tested me-- my inner self, the core being of me. I wasn't perfect, far from it actually, I wouldn't trade these 4 years for anything. I have love, lost, and learned. This is really only the beginning and that is the most amazing part of it all.
