A Blessing and a Curse

I'm graduating in 12 days. That's how long I have left to enjoy this with the people I love at Vandy. Kind of crazy. I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and realized that coming here for school has been a blessing in so many ways. Vandy has given me an amazing education, opportunities I never would have had, best friends, the best days of my life (really), and a chance to meet people from all over. I really couldn't have asked for more. At the same time, though, it's different than if I had chosen to go to a more regional school with more people from around one place. People would all be staying in the same area and I could have "friends from college" that I hung out with for years to come. However, coming to Vandy has meant meeting people from all over the country who will leave and go all over the country. That's the curse part of it...the people are great and you become so close. And then everyone goes in a million different directions. I will always have the memories of fun times, and at the same time, I don't think the memories are enough. I want to keep living the amazing times.

Guess I'll just have to create a "travel fund" so I can go around and visit everyone. That's what's been on my mind a lot lately--leaving the people here.

That's my bit of insight. In case you're wondering, I haven't cried about this yet, but my ability to hold it in is waning very, very quickly.
