Challenge Yourself

Finally, I am almost done with college. I am in my final semester of school and so close to being an adult. It is a great feeling. I love that I have come this far. Yet, I realize that I am about to leave this very cool city forever. Something about that idea kind of scares me, like I am no longer a child. So, I have decided that I am going to work on doing new things and enjoying myself at school. 

Obviously, this is going to be a little bit more difficult for me than it is for most people, but I am not going to give up. For the first time this whole semester, I am making weekend plans, going out, seeing new people, trying new restaurants, and attending different events on campus. For the first time in a long time, I am actually kind of excited to see what school has to offer me. 

Last night, I went to the bar to visit an old friend. He graduated two years ago and I rarely get to see him, especially because I am hardly ever here on weekends. This time I was around and got to spend the evening catching up. Tonight, I am going to a friend's house for a party. This is not exactly the weekend I am used to, but it seems like it will be worth giving it a shot. 

Now, I might not be the best at this whole "college-kid thing" but I am figuring out ways to step out of my comfort zone and enjoy the time I have left. If it comes down to it, I want to be sure that I did everything I could to start liking school. I don't want to look back and realize that I missed out. This semester is all about challenging myself and pushing myself to enjoy every minute that I have left here at school. Something about taking control of my life feels very empowering. I am finally ready to take control of my own happiness.
