Well, in response to my last entry, Sarah suggested i write about being a senior in college. This seemed rather appropriate because senior year is a time to prepare for a BIG change.
Truth is, it has been on my mind a bit lately, however not at the forefront, which scares me. I need to decide what I'm doing at start making arrangements now. I've never been good at planning ahead, and I've always been a procrastinator. The problem is, if I do that now, I'll end up in a very bad spot.
It's always scary thinking about the future. I have no clue what is going to happen, and a lot of the time I don't feel like I have much control over it either. This explains why I've always been laid back about things. I'm very comfortable sitting back and taking things as they come. I like to think that I trust that God will work things out, and I believe that's reflected in how I live. I always wonder if I'm too laid back though. Is it possible that I'm going to end up without a job living with my mother for the next few years?
The other thing I think about regarding my senior year is how much I'm going to miss this place. Houghton has been amazing to me. The friends I have here are the best that I could ask for. The professors and special lectures have truly enriched my life, pushing me to step outside the comfort of my beliefs in order to see how strong (or weak) they really are. For the most part I like who I am, and everything that went into my Houghton experience has a lot to do with that.
I'm not looking forward to leaving this all behind, but I am confident that outside the Houghton bubble there is much more to be experienced that will further shape and strengthen me and my beliefs. I only hope that I can find friends as wonderful as those I have here.
ps-emy rocks my world.
