The apron has been turned in, the keys handed off, and
u-haul packed full. Today marks the end
of an era, and the beginning of a new adventure. This year “off” has been
filled to the brim with performances, work, coffee shop visits, and an
extensive amount of photographs.
There is no doubt in my mind that without this gap year, I
would be unprepared and unwilling to open my mind to learning new things. An
inadequate high school experience can do that to a person. But now as I am
facing a full load of classes in a week, my heart is beating with excitement
for new knowledge.
This year will hold a lot for me: new friendships, new city,
new everything. A fresh start. I am thrilled I hold a few familiarities in my
hand as I walk into this new life. A (still new) friend from Mankato, Sydney,
and a few other familiar faces who head to Columbia from Minnesota, a best
friend from middle school with roots bringing her to Chicago frequently, and a
few YPC buds who also attend school in Chicago.
So, tomorrow at 8am I will start setting up my new life at
Columbia, and I am beyond excited. I hope to continue updating my blog on all the new experiences I will be enjoying, so keep reading!
Adventure is out there, and I am racing to enjoy every
second of it.
