I graduate this year, if I make it ’til December. (Please, merciful Big Brother who doth rule my life) Wow. That feels so weird. I will be done with my Bachelor’s degree. I will be a real person, with a real job, in a real place. I’m not gonna lie, I’m kinda scared.
I suppose that I should be really comfortable with the idea because, lets face it, if I have made it this far with all I’ve had to deal with, I can make it through anything. If I can get straight A’s this past semester despite all of the family issues, work issues, relationship issues, BYU vs. roommate issues, political issues, national media issues, local media issues, etc, then I think I can succeed in any environment.
I did pick up a few tools this past semester that I think will make 2009 a much more pleasant year-
2. I realized that I can still say what I believe and what my experiences are, without having to worry about 1.
3. I realized that everyone disappoints. Everyone.
4. I realized that disappointing me doesn’t mean that person doesn’t love or care for me.
5. I realized that only I can control my life, my happiness, my feelings, my standards, my future.
So with all of those realizations, I’m excited for a great year.
