Bulldog

It's true. I'm decided.

Truman State University, Class of 2015 :)
Bulldog for 4 more years!

This past weekend, my friend Molly and I went to Truman to visit some friends and revisit the campus. We had a wonderful experience touring the different buildings and dorms and revealing the little wonders of student life. While we were there, they were celebrating the end of the school year with a big activity on the Quad with food, snowcones, and rock climbing walls. It was fun to see college students interacting and know that I will be there next year.

Throughout all of the fun and discovery of a new campus, town, and life, we managed to experience small anxiety attacks anticipating this new life. In two short weeks, the world we have grown in and loved will be separated from us forever. We will not only be leaving our friends, but also our family, hometown, jobs, favorite restaurants and stores. As I begin to enter one of the most emotional times of my life, I am also fearful for my future. Before, I was only "fearful" in a shallow sense in the aspect that I had made no decisions on my future location. Although, I did know that I would be okay wherever I decided to attend. Now, my fear arises from reality. Who knew reality could be so scary?

I do know that all seniors are facing some degree of fear to leave and be on their own. For now, we focus on the present...which includes so many IB tests.
