Im ready
This has been an awesome summer. I havnt had football running my life, Ive had enough money to get by and save up, and most importantly Ive been able to spend lots of quality time with my family and friends.
In making the transition to college from this summer and from high school, I am not losing anything. Johnny and Andy are still going to remain friends on into the future, and most everyone else I know is going to the UW. I will miss the IB group from Inglemoor and parts of high school football, but those will remain great memories, better than I ever could have hoped for.
I am not in a situation where there is longing for something outside of that which will be my effective life at and only at the UW. My financial situation is pretty good and relatively secure. Ive got nothing holding me back in any kind of attempt to enjoy college to the fullest and begin a new phase of my life without attachments to the past. Ive got no crazy ideas about how Im going to be different in college, suddenly popular and super outgoing or whatever, but Ive felt relaxed all summer and will do so in college. Ive had time to learn my lessons about being shy. I am going to kick academic ass in college, thats one of my major priorities. My others consist of spiritual growth, financial stability, and making friends. Id also like to begin exploring what its like to be in a relationship, and to start finding out what types of girls are best for me, although I think Ive thought about that enough to have a pretty good idea right now. Still, that will be perhaps the most exciting part about college. Ill play by the rules, not go looking for anything, but begin to stick myself out there a bit and see if I can find somebody who likes me too.
Right now, I feel that I have been able to mature considerably over the summer. Its been tough in what I am sure has been a way that is unique to me, but Ive passed the test.
There is nothing holding me back. It is time to reach whatever potential I have in all areas of my life. I will do my best to achieve up to the limit of my potential and do everything I can to expand that potential. That is what college is all about. That... and not getting sidetracked into an alternate and destructive form of behavior. There will be hardships, but I believe that I am strong enough to make it through on my own as long as my foundation can remain healthy. That foundation consists of my spiritual center and the orientation of my perspective.
So... to everyone... Good Luck! I hope college will be/is the time where you are able to find out who you are and make great strides to the point where you will have the ability to make yourself and others happy with the self-reliance needed in adulthood.
