As my college (undergraduate) career comes to an end, I have begun to think about my life and where I currently am and what I'm doing (which sucks by the way). Although I have always thought about myself as an adult, the time has come for me to put on my big girl panties and finally be a part of the 'real world' (as most people like to call it). I'd like to take these next few days to talk about several parts of my life that will be moving on...
See what I think is that the real world will be WAY better than the current one where I work AND go to school. Now I get to just work, come home, watch tv, go to the gym, go out to eat, etc. All without worrying about homework, test, group projects, etc. I get to be a functioning member of society without all the extra effort....oh oh oh and I get my SOCIAL LIFE BACK...HELLO FRIENDS :)
As for the cons of this situation, I have also come to realize that as we get older, things change. Friends change, family change, we change and not all of it for the better. I feel as though at this point in my life I have been given the opportunity to evaluate my friends and how what role they currently play. I have always believed that people come in and out of your life as you need them to and each one brings something new; whether it be a new experience, a new opportunity, or just new fun. Each person always leaves a piece of themselves with you no matter what the situation, your life will be better knowing these people. But what really sucks is knowing that you do what you can, but as you get older, relationships change and coping with the fact that it takes two to keep this relationship going.
What I'm really trying to say is that you REALLY find out who your friends are at this point in your life. As we move, start families, get new jobs, etc. You find out who your friends are, the ones that will stick with you at all times. These people have changed over time and as friends, you have grown with that person and not left them behind. We have to grasp this and understand that this happens to everyone and that it's okay to let go and move on.
One thing that I constantly remind myself of is that you never know what lies ahead. So lets not mourn the past, but look forward to the future and the new relationship that it holds.
