life lately
Life is coming at me too fast. It feels like yesterday when I received my acceptance letter to Slippery Rock, and here I am, ordering graduation tickets. What happened to the days when my biggest decision was what color toga I wanted to make for the cheerleading mixer, or if I wanted to go with the usual Vlad or splurge a little and get Smirnoff? Now I'm teaching lessons to my 4th graders and wearing dressy clothes to school every day. The days of living in cheer clothes and a messy bun on top of my head are over. The days of hungover brunches at Boozel and walking across campus at night hoping to avoid underages are far in the past. The hours and hours of cheer practice, freezing my ass off at football games, working out with the team, going to nationals, camp, and cheer parties are mere memories. Walking across campus and saying hi to literally every person because we all knew each other has turned into scanning their Facebook page because they aren't around anymore. The saddest part about moving on will be the fact that never again will I see half of my college friends after next month. People move, people get jobs, people get married and have kids. I constantly ask myself, where will I be? Where is life taking me? Who will I meet? There are so many questions to be answered, and I can't seem to be finding any of the answers. In high school, people always said, "What do you want to do with your life?" Without even thinking I would simply respond, "Cheer and major in Elementary Education at Slippery Rock." Well now since that plan has come to a finish, I feel like a lost child because I don't have a plan for once in my life. The college chapter in my life was definitely where I found and created myself, but now it's time to embark on a new chapter....life after college. I know it'll be full of exciting challenges and adventure, but I'm scared as hell to begin.
