Well, this time last week I was feeling so beaten down and overwhelmed. Somehow, the Lord has put a new pep in my step and picked me off my feet again. I've found myself thinking a lot lately about how much my life has changed in a year. This time last year, I was praying I could get through proms, AP exams, senior speeches, and my senior dance recital. Now, I'm pushing through the tail end of my first year in college...where has the time gone?!?!
I have literally changed so much this year; sometimes I look at myself and think who is this girl...but in a good way. I have first off learned so so much this year academically, spiritually, and internally. I have been bombarded with new information but thankfully I adore being an HD major so everything has been incredibly interesting to me. My faith has been strengthened in a way I never thought it could. My bible study has challenged me to dig so much deeper into the word of God and it has done nothing but good things in my life. Also, I feel like I'm a grown up. This sounds really cliche and such, but I've always been kind of childish. Not in the maturity sense, but just in the sense that I'm kind of innocent and giddy all of the time. Now, I find myself job searching and planning out the next 4 years of my life. Where has the time gone?!?!
I have also had the blessing of coming to college with my boyfriend/ best friend of over two and a half years. I cannot explain how incredible this has been for me. I've gotten home sick, had so many stressful times, and friendship issues and he has been there EVERY DAY to hold me and calm me down. Being this close to each other has also made our relationship grow so much stronger! Since we are kind of growing up, we have started to think more about our future together. Most people would see this as terrifying, but thinking about spending our life together is the most beautiful dream/thought I've ever had. It's insane to think that the prince charming I dreamed of since I was little has come to me SO SOON in the form of an insanely goofy, intelligent, faith-filled, musically-talented, handsome-beyond-belief man. Where has the time gone?!?!
Anyways, this year has been incredible. I'm so blessed to be at my school and so blessed to be so close to home. The main thing I've learned this year is that my family is my heart and soul! I see my parents almost every week and when I don't, it really sucks... My mom and dad are my best friends and I greatly look forward to seeing them every time I can. I remember when I was a dumb teenager and thought my parents were SO overbearing and protective for no reason...I could not have been more wrong. Where has the time gone?!?! I don't know honestly, but every second I get to spend on this Earth around these incredible people God has blessed me with makes all the hard times worthwhile. Thanks for being in my life y'all <3
