Better Days
So here it is- my last week of college. Wow. I remember starting college and thinking "In forever it'll all be over." Boy was I so wrong. It all flew by, but it didn't fly away without lotsa change. It took alot, it gave alot. I've soared on the wings of college just as much as I've done nose dives. In four years so much has happened. And it seems to all revolve around college. I've made friends in teachers and classmates, I've found old friends again. I've said goodbyes to family and have gotten even closer to others. I've broken hearts and mended some. I've lost myself and found me all over again- new, refreshed, grown. And on Sunday it all comes together at the end. Wow. 4 years. I can only wonder where the next 4 will take me. The doors at Columbia are closing and I can see others waiting for me to knock. I'm anticipating all the answers.
Tomorrow I turn the big 22. Another milestone. This week I have two job interviews. Wait- career interviews. Another brick in the path. Hopefully, a very good, beneficial brick. Bridal shower Saturday. Only 5 months until the wedding. I can't believe itz that close. I'm looking forward to this more than anything. And Sunday is graduation. I get to wear that ugly silver (baked potatoe) cap and gown and attempt to find my fans, ehem, family and friends in the massive crowd. This week brings a lot of change, but surprisingly none of which I'm worried about. Typical me spends hours analyzing plans and what's to come. But this time, somehow, Let It Be is just coming out naturally. Maybe I've said it so much over these for years... Let it be. Let it be... that I've finally gotten the perfect grasp on it. *sigh*
Goodbye, College. Hello, Life. I'm happy to be here.
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
