I found myself overcoming roadblocks for the past two months with decisions dealing with both my personal life and education. In these past few months I reflect on how much I have grown and I’m proud of myself. I learned that is okay to take time out for myself. Things will not always be the way I would like, but there’s a reason why matters don’t always work in my favor. Moreover, I also learned that I am a HUGE procrastinator, and that this trait may not change. I’m not just referring to the upcoming trip. I’ve lost out on time, a lot of time because I waited until the last minute to either complete an assignment, delay scheduling meetings for important events, and so on. I used to never be like this. I was the student that completed assignments a month in advance after they received their syllabus and planned out my outfits two weeks to a month in advance.
During that period of my life I may have had too much time on my hands…or I was just great at scheduling and being proactive!
But back to my main point of this post….this new journey that I will be embracing after graduation is an exciting one. I am open to the challenges that I will face, and I believe they will make me a stronger and better person. I know that the choices that I make in life are not please anyone but myself. With every choice I make there is a consequence. Whether the consequence is good or bad, I’m ready!
I used to be an adventurous person who was ready to pick up and travel around the world, and lately I have been playing it safe. I miss this person and I’m seeking to find her. Hopefully, she will emerge when I step foot into a different world.
