This is your life

“It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.”

Rian and I in July 2010

This quote started the final episode of One Tree Hill. A show that i started watching when I was in Middle School. I graduate college in 3 weeks! How the heck did that happen!?!? I was packing boxes since I know I won't be using my textbooks when I get back cause getting a job in my field is damn near impossible.  As I put each book or binder into the box it was hitting me harder and harder I'm graduating. I've known that I was graduating all along but this is different. When I got to this point in High School I was going on to another school, four more years of the same things different location. This time when I walk across that stage there isn't another stage I am going to be walking across.

I'm a grown up! When the freak did that happen!?!!? Last thing I knew I was sitting in the 6th grade classroom at Sherburne wondering what middle school was going to be like with 30 minutes bus rides and 5 new towns going to school with us. Now it's been 10 years since we left that tiny school that I loved

so much.  It's been two years  since I went to live on Long Island with my nanny, two years since I've been in a serious relationship.. so much has changed. Or maybe I've changed so much... I know that I have found me again and it's a person I actually like! Crazy right! 

 

I know that I'm driving my parents, family, friends nuts because I am a planner who doesn't have a plan so every idea I think of gets said. In reality I'm a clueless as the next kid maybe more, I love Vermont and I love Mount Holly much to Cash's disappointment (sorry had to) I don't think I'm going anywhere beyond lots of vacations. I'm going to enjoy my 20's since I missed out on a bunch in my teens. 

College graduation in 23 days... Wow... National Park whirlwind tour for two months in 41 days.
