So, last weekend, I was in San Diego to be a judge for Ascension tryouts. It was the first time I was there since school started again. It never hit me before…but this time when I went down and saw ppl again, walked on campus…it felt pretty dang sucky.
Yes, college is over, and yes it sucks. But like I said, everyone has to deal with this. Everyone has their own dilemmas and feelings toward the end of their college years, facing the real world. This transition…really sucks for some because their change in lifestyle is depressingly dramatic.
But, for me…the transition hasn’t been so bad. I’m still living away from home. I've been given the opportunity to pursue my dreams, doing something I love. I’m living w/ two great friends who are pursuing this dream with me. and I have a wonderful girlfriend/companion/friend.
So…yes, though I helllaaaaa miss college and all the fun associated w/ it, everyone hasta move on. And if I hafta move on…what I moved on to…is pretty much the best thing I could ask for (realistically). So I can’t really complain. So when people ask me how post-college life is, how’s LA? I tell them... honestly, I can’t complain, because everything I have right now, is truly a blessing.
And truth is, I did what I could to live college to the fullest. So I should be thankful for what I got. I had the buddies, excitement, purpose, experiences, struggles, lessons…all the things needed to make some of the most ideal college memories. There isn’t a thing I would change. So maybe that’s why I miss college so much. Cause it was everything I wanted (whether i knew it at the time or not).
Now, ripped away from it…I begin something new. Though what I’m living right now, is not part of the college era…it’s part of some era. And though it’s not the same as college…it’s not supposed to be. It has to be different so that I can grow and move forward w/ my life. College happened, and it was amazing. Now, I’m starting something new…that could potentially be even more amazing.
But for now…I’m good. It’s ok that it’s over and that things aren’t the same. This is how we progress in life. Good things end, good things start. I’m at a start right now, I know it. =)"
