In about 10 days, I will be venturing out to the rural town of Wooster, OH to begin my life as collegiate. It's pretty unbelievable. I never really pictured myself going to college, but there was never another option for me. I definately never would have ever pictured myself going to a small, private college that required me to pack up my belongings and move away from my friends and family. But I applied, got accepted, and subconsiously made up my mind, I guess, because there was never any question. My options were Kent or Wooster, and my plan of going to Kent quickly erased from my mind. It'll be a big leap, but I believe it'll be for the better... at least I'm hoping so. I believe its time that I branch out. I can see myself going so much farther with my life by leaving now than if I were to stay at home. Yet part of me never wants to leave? I'm not sure that I'm afraid to live on my own as much as I am to be leaving everyone I love. Wooster may not be far in actuality, but being in the middle of the country without a car makes it seem like lightyears away. The friendships I have created within the past four years have been far from phenomenal. I have somehow managed to foster some of the deepest, most rewarding relationships I've ever had. My friends have gotten me through so much, maybe with out even realizing it. They are people that I can truly thrive off of. So, I am creating this blog in an effort to preserve everything and everyone that I love in the present, because I know I will need them in the future. This is also an effort to retain my sanity, I suppose. As I move through college, I plan to update this often. I don't want it to be a blog with one post explaining why it is in existance. Until my next post, I hope that everyone does fantastically and enjoys that last couple of weeks of summer vacation. :)
Love, me.
