One Year Left
Today marks the start of my second year of graduate school. I cannot believe how this time has flown by. I have met some truly wonderful people and had some amazing experiences. I have grown emotionally and mentally into more of a person I am wanting to be. I have had some tough times this past year, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't take back any of it.
I'm working on embracing change. It is inevitable and I am learning I can work through anything, it is all about the attitude I have moving forward. This summer was full of experiences I had never had and I really put myself out there and met some new people. It was scary, exciting, fun, daring, among other things. But I really noticed some patterns about my behavior through it all, which I have been accepting and working on either embracing or changing.
I'm on a kick right now of trying new things, "acquiring new life skills" as I've been saying. It has been fun and interesting to push myself out of my comfort zone and see what happens. I am using this time, my last year before... true adulthood (ahh!) to discover more and more about my personality, my interests, my likes and dislikes, myself.
For the first time, I feel in the right mental/emotional place to start this process of self discovery. I am finally acting on things I've always talked about doing.
In short, I'm very excited about life.
