Oy, I am now so close to the conclusion of my freshman year I can nearly taste it! I have two finals tomorrow, a busy yet exciting summer ahead of me, and less than three months before my departure.
As this academic phase comes to a close, I am seeing parts of it flash back through my memory and am so thankful that I survived this tumultuous year. I have never had such a wild combination of highs and lows scrambled into such a short and academically challenging time. My conclusion - COLLEGE IS NOT FOR SISSIES. And just because you are successful in high school doesn't mean squat. I hope all of my high school friends graduating tonight buckle up for a long ride! (and have a fabulous time as well).
I recently downloaded the app Timehop after seeing it fly across my Facebook newsfeed and appropriately, the first time I tried it, it had been exactly 1 year since my high school graduation. After looking at those hilarious selfies, I can't believe how much I have changed in a year. And 365 days from now, when I am concluding my time abroad, I will definitely have transformed once again .
Life is crazy and tends to challenge us when we need it most. No, this year was not a cake-walk, and I cried many a tear, but I made it - woohoo!
So the planning continues: apartments being leased, and tickets being bought. And once I have concluded my freshman year tomorrow evening, the Ireland countdown can officially begin!
