Reality

One thing I have been doing as I get older is become more organized. I like to know what I'm doing weeks in advance; I am very much a planner. It's pretty disgusting the lengths I go to plan things. I'm not a last minute person, I like to know where I'm going, who is going with me, how long we will be there, what I need to wear, do I need to eat before, etc etc. My best friend/sister is the same way. We don't like to go into situations being unaware of what is going on. For example, before my spring break last year I spent many weeks planing and arranging. I had the hotel picked out, transportation taken care of, and every item of clothing I need photographed and placed on a spread sheet for the days I was going to wear them... Slightly ridiculous, I know. Organizing my life keeps me in check, and planning my wardrobe kept me from overpacking. I overpack like it's my job otherwise. 

So that being said let me get into my most recent of projects. I have gotten a planner good for the next year and half so I can keep track of all my big girl items: phone bill, car insurance, rent, class schedule/ homework, and school breaks. So here is where I get to the point. I was going through the Ball State University calendar so I could see dates for classes, breaks, and finals week. So I got through filling out my spring break week, and got to the end of the calendar... 

May second: Graduation Commencement... My COLLEGE GRADUATION!

 It became real. It's still two semesters away, but I was floored to write that down, and realize that it is closer than ever. 

I have never been so excited or scared in my entire life. Class of 2015. I recall moving into my dorm room three years ago, going to my first classes, hanging out at my first frat party. The excitement of it all came so quickly and it's hard to believe how quickly times flies. High school was so long, and boring, but college is such a rush. It really does go by fast, you never believe the term "time files" until you're zooming by life and can't even fathom where all that time went. Two more semesters, 30 some credits, two sets of finals week, a Christmas break, spring break, and I'm out in the real world. Fingers crossed I can walk across that stage in a year and grab that diploma  as a university graduate! 

Chirp Chirp, Cardinals. Here is to our senior year!!!
