Growing Up and the Real World.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about the future and just where I am in my life. My best friend and I were talking about this and I think it is absolutely crazy. We are growing up. It seems like just yesterday that we were jumping off his swing set in the backyard and tye dying tshirts with his mom. I can't believe that that was seven years ago. Now we are dealing with significant others, finding colleges, and studying for the SAT. Where did all of this time go? I'm graduating next year...next YEAR!! That blows my mind. To be honest, I am really nervous to leave home. This is where I'm from. I have had the same friends since I was born. It is going to be so strange to start over in a new place. So here is my awesome plan. One last trip before college. It is still a year and a half away but this is just what I'm thinking. A trip to the beach with all of my friends. Rent a house and just relax and be together before we all go our seperate ways. I don't know if this is going to happen but it sounds good in my head! :)
In my last blog I was talking about my friends. I really do think that I will be friends with them for the rest of my life. Sure we won't be as close but I think I will always stay in contact with them. I plan on going to college at a school that is over a thousand miles away. So I will only get to see my friends a few times a year. I think that is going to be so hard. The future is a scary thing. But I think I need to embrace it instead of being scared of it. I can't dwell on the bad things about being a grown up. So this is my goal. Before I leave for college I want to stop fearing the future and instead, get excited about it. This is a totally random blog but I dont care. It is just what was on my mind. :)
