Transition

Mar 26, 2009 11:23

I've come to realize I'm not about to transition into a new part of my life. While I still have a year of college left, it's going to be far different from the traditional classroom setting. I'm both scared and excited to get out there and into the field. I'm excited to learn something every day and I'm hopeful that I'll figure out where I fit in the pharmacy world.
I have so much going on before this semester ends, but I like it that way. I've got a dance to raise money for Diabetes, a Wine Tour, multiple musicals, the Relay for Life, my birthday, All The Way and more! It seems like every weekend is practically booked up. I'm glad I get to make the best of this time and I'm also excited that I've finally come to realize that it's a waste of time to try to make everyone around me happy. This is MY time too and I'm going to enjoy it! I'm lucky I have some great friends to have some great times with. It will be interesting to see what relationships are able to endure over the next year, or even the next couple of years.
I have a lot to think about in the near future. Who do I want to work for? What field of pharmacy do I want to work in? Where do I want to live? I can't believe I've finally gotten to this point in my life. My future is right in front of me and the decisions I make now can have a huge impact on my future life. I'm lucky in the fact that I don't have any ties to men to hold me back or influence my decision, the only major influence on the decision, aside from my personal desires, is my family.  I would hate to move somewhere where I wouldn't be able to see them on a regular basis. However, if I'm ever going to make a big move in my life I feel like moving right off the bat after graduating would be the way to do it.  While it might be challenging to not know anyone if I moved far away, it would be exciting to develop all new friendships and relationhips. A fresh start could be nice in a way...refreshing. The prospect of moving away is exciting, but in the end I'm afraid my desire to live close to my family will win out. Not that I don't love the area I've come from, there are several communities I'd love to settle down in.

Now I'm just babbling so I'm going to conclude this entry before it becomes one ridiculously long argument inside my head about what I should do with my life after college. So far now, all I know is that I'm ready to do what makes me happy.
