Senior year....when did this happen?!

I originally started this blog as a way to document my semester in Italy. I originally decided that I would end it at that since I'm not extremely interesting otherwise. However, this year is somewhat of a milestone for me. I just started my SENIOR YEAR in college. So, I thought, at least for my own memories, that I would keep up the blog at least until senior year is over. Mostly, blogging is just fun for me.


Thursday I started my last year of school ever. My mom says "never say never" but at least for the foreseable future I will not be going back to school. I just can't believe this year that I've dreamed about since jr. high (which is about when I was no longer school's biggest fan) has finally arrived. It feels like just yesterday I was graduating high school and crying as I bid goodbye (for now) to my best friends. I was 18 and thought that college would never end. I feel like I was just in core classes waiting until I would soley be working on classes that would benefit me. I was dreaming of a future career and thinking this "waiting period" would never end. In some ways I really wanted it to end and in some ways I didn't. At the time I couldn't wait until I was finally "grown up". At the same time I couldn't think of anything more terrifying. And now there's really no turning back. I have to start thinking of my future and figuring out what I want to do/where I want to be.

My mom always tells me that I have what she calls "wanderlust". I call it restlessness. Her word sounds much prettier. I just need change. Which is ironic cause I resist it. I love to travel and my biggest dream is to see the world. I want to travel everywhere and try new things. That being said, I have pretty much decided to move to Europe when I graduate. Hopefully I will get to live and work there for at least a year. At this point I'm trying to decided between Italy and Spain, rough life I know. I'm praying that God will show me His will and open the doors for me to live this dream of mine.

Ciao
