High School. Those were the days. So long ago..not really, but you get the point. Lately, I have been thinking back to high school, remembering what I thought of high school and college then, and what I think now. Let's just say my thoughts are way different. I remember thinking in high school "I can't wait to be done", "I want to be at college", etc. I wonder why I said that. I love college, but I definitely miss high school. I NEVER thought I would miss high school, but about a month into college, I realized how much I did miss it. Looking back, I had a wonderful high school career: I had great grades, super involved, had good friends, youth group, and everything else, and it's weird now, I don't have my high school "identity" anymore. I loved my school and had my "identity" there, so I guess you could say I was comfortable in that setting. I wish I wouldn't of tried to rush through high school, wishing for the days of college, because honestly, high school was great. I believe it's one of those things; you really don't know what you have until it's gone.
I guess college is the place where I will discover who I really am. College is so great though. I love it. Yes, it is a TON of work and the workload seems like it never ends, but there is so much more to college than the homework. I love dorm life and the friendships I have made, that has definitely been a highlight.
Although I feel like college is kicking my butt, I know I will eventually get the hang of it, and I might as well enjoy the ride! High school flew by, and I'm guessing college is going to be the same. These next four years are going to be great, and I am definitely going to enjoy it and not try to grow up-next up is marriage, teaching, kids, and so on!
With Blessings,
Heather
