The end of the semester is finally here, yet I feel bittersweet about it. I'm glad school is going to be out; it means no more stress! Thank Goodness. At the same time I have come to love so many people who will not be returning next year. Most of the friends I have made here at RBC are graduating in May. I hate to see all of them leave so soon after meeting them. So many amazing people that I have come to know and love are now going to whisked away by the adventures of University Life. I thank all of them because each and every one of them has taught me something. The true value of friendship hasn't really had a definition for me until now. There are a few friends who are not going off to college, simply taking some time off & I know they will still be around but, it just is not the same as seeing them every day in classes, the commons or the library.
As for the sweet part- NO MORE SCHOOL! For now anyways. I can definitely finish my freshman year of college saying it was definitely was not what I expected it to be. In some ways it was hard as in the quality of the work. In others it was completely and 100% easier than high school, the rules, professors, choosing when you'd like to take classes, and when you'd rather sleep. The attendance policy is more lenient as well. In college you really feel as if you are an adult, not babied all the time.
Summer isn't going to be lazy days for me though. I have a job at the mall that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. I have joined the Big Brother Big Sister Program, which I am extremely excited about and I also have to prepare for my EMT classes in the fall. This upcoming saturday I have a CPR class, which should be interesting and I get to share that experience with my younger sister. Who unfortunately is still in high school, that I have to get up early and take her to everyday. I am happy with the direction my life is going in at this point in time.
