My countdown has ended, I have officially graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor of Science in Communication with a specialization in Journalism.
It's hard to believe that my time at Liberty is over. I've raced to my last bus stop, taken my last spill down the DeMoss stairs and sat in my last class with Deborah Huff.
I always assumed that when I finished college I would know exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life. Now, I feel like I know even less than I thought I knew when I originally left for school. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but it's what I'm thinking right now.
As I sit here thinking about what an amazing experience I had at Liberty, another thought hits me. What on earth am I going to do with everything that came back from school with me? The unpacking process has begun, my room looks great! However, the hallway leading to my door has disappeared in a mound of crates, rugs, curtains, textbooks and portfolios.
What comes next? Well, as of right now, I'm focusing on recovering from the mono and strep that I came down with during finals week. I will be traveling to Mexico with my family after my little sister graduates from high school in a few weeks. Also in the plans is a mission trip with Xtreme Impact to an island in the Bahamas. I am looking forward to working with my small group of girls on this trip and interacting with the other Liberty student leaders and high school students that will be going on the trip as well.
After that, who knows what I will be doing! I am thoroughly excited about the fact that I have no serious commitments after August, no school to race off to and nothing I have to be. Except for the student loans that will be floating along in November, but that will come in its own time.
I am hoping to write for some sort of magazine or newspaper in the fall, if everything goes according to plan. But those of you who know me well are fully aware of how my plans usually work out. If you see someone living under a bridge, it might be me :)
But as of right now, I am a very content, very sleepy college graduate. I suppose this was a good time to come down with mono, rather than dealing with it during last semester. I don't think I have ever slept this much in my life. Apparently it is time for me to learn to slow down and relax some, at least that's what my boyfriend and family are telling me. We shall see how that goes :)
