On top of the world

Today I am free. Free to think, fantasize, and do whatever I want. With that comes an unbelievable feeling of having a weight lifted from my shoulders. With that, there is also a bit of lonliness. My goal for the last year of my college career is to live life to the fullest, doing things that make me happy. I want to experience my surroundings and the people in my life. The past few years I've been to myself, and it's not like I don't enjoy that because as most people who know me, I'm a pretty independent person. This is the last year that I'm going to be in school, the last year that my only responsibilities are school and tennis. I am going to allow myself to act solely by my feelings...because I can. Even though I've been in a relationship while I've been in school for the past 3 years, this year is going to be a lot different. It's a different mind set. There is no one to turn to, no one to check in on, no one to visit, call, talk to...

I don't want to make it seem like I'm not grateful for the past 4 years. It's been such an amazing experience and I never thought I could love somebody so much. But that door has closed, and a new one has opened. Through that door is an entire world and the best part is that I get to choose my path. Sure, graphic design will sway me in a certain direction, maybe to where I interned over the summer, but maybe not. The location of my family and friends might sway me towards living back home in MD.
