Confliction Addiction
I used to think that high school was pretty complicated, that my life couldn't possibly get more confusingly complex than that. I mean, come on, what could get more complicated than teenage angst, friend drama (which ironically, I never got personally tangled in, except for that one time...), and that ever puzzling journey to self discovery. I'm still convinced that it's still going on.
But suddenly, holy sh*t, it's senior year. After this year, that's it. Done. Finished. What? When did that happen? I thought high school went by pretty quickly, but that does not compare to college. Somewhere in that short span of three, verging four, years, life suddenly became much different. I'm not sure when it happened, that merge, that change from just a teenager to an adult. I don't identify myself as a kid anymore, but the label of adult seems so foreign, but familiar at the same time.
I was in clinical on Friday, and one of the x-ray first years came over to see how MRI is run. All I could think was, wow, it seems so long ago. I remember when I was a first year in my first rotation, but it seems like a very long time ago. I almost wanted to say to her, enjoy x-ray while it lasts, because it all goes by so quickly. I think clinical is part of the reason why the years went by so quickly and the fact that I had classes once a week, rather than twice or thrice.
I can't imagine myself post-college. It's just so different. No more school, no more homework, no more classes to attend. No studying. I feel like once I finish college, I'm going to feel very, very lost. I know the transition from high school to college was very different, but there were still similarities. I still had to go to class, study, do homework, etc.
I feel like curling up in bed right now and going back to bed, despite the fact I only got up 3 hours ago.
