Despite the fact that everyone around me is headed out of the country (specifically, the Bahamas), this one is stayin' in the States this upcoming week. Jersey bound tomorrow morning and then cruising down 95 to Baltimore to present senior research. This is the last leg of my college career and, without a doubt, I'm scared shitless as to where I'll be in roughly 4 months. Right now, it's a lingering thought in the back of my mind. But every day it creeps more and more into my thoughts. If only I would have pushed myself just that little bit further to get that GPA at or above a 3.0, I wouldn't have had any trouble in deciding my future as far as schooling goes. If only I didn't spend as much time with friends and nose myself into my studies more, that 3.0 would have been possible. But, life is full of sacrifices, may they be small or monumental, and you have to 110% go with gut instinct. I continually revert back to a particular weekend roughly one year ago. I can't pinpoint any one exact moment that changed me, but it was enough to have a few substantial revelations:
-Live for yourself and never sacrifice your dreams for someone else's.
-Being alone doesn't sound ideal, but it happens. It's not the end of the world - persevere.
-Near water (the beach, specifically) is where I need to be. Not an arid, desolate wasteland that I had planned to a year ago (Texas, anyone?).
-A change in scenery is most definitely necessary for me at this point in my life.
On that note, here's Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy." Stevie Nicks is timeless.
