Living Life
I am really genuinely happy and satisfied with my life at this point. I enjoy that I am "growing up" and am living my own life: off-campus and self-sufficient. Some people may not understand the pleasure I get from simple things like cooking for myself or paying my own rent. It may also be hard to understand how I could really love somebody and want to spend the rest of my life with her, but then I know I'm not your typical college student.
For those who think they will somehow see me less now that I have transitioned, I have only this to say. I am here to speak with and visit if asked, as I would have always been there before if any had ever asked or visited me in the past. It's a shame that some never made the most of their opportunity when I lived on-campus, but I know I never made the most of my opportunities either. The term "commuter" is not an ugly word. It does not mean that I don't want to be part of the social scene or never see people again, it only means that I am at a different stage in my life. It does not mean that I don't want to attend parties or have a good time, it just means that I have a different understanding of the term. Please don't act as if you have "lost me", I can assure you that I am still very much here.
In other news, I already have a job offer, but its not a very good one. I am confident, perhaps too much so, and I know I am going to succeed. The true test now is to resist the yearning to be at the end of this school year and focus on the here and the now.
