I had to go to the library the other night make copies out of a textbook for one of my classes. I didn't think much of it, but as I was walking back to my car, I was suddenly struck with thoughts of how much my life has changed in the past few years.
Before I moved out of my parents house, I thought that I was going to chicken out. Seriously. I didn't think I could really go to college. It was too scary. But then I did it. Campus was huge and confusing and I was homesick for a long time, but like anything else in life, I learned to deal with it, and came to love it. As I was walking on campus the other night, I realized that logan has become my HOME, and not only a place to live and go to school. Buildings, places, and faces all seem to tell me that this is where I belong. Something that was once so scary to me is now my heaven. I'm not sure exactly how to convey the feeling I felt, but at that moment I felt. . . accomplished in a way. It was a real eye-opener to me that sometimes scary things are just what we need so that we can be happier in the future! I'm excited to encounter a lot of other new things in the next few years, and see how that influences my life.
sweet! one of those moments eh? love it! i have felt that way about SUU too, believe it or not. funny how that all works huh. it's weird how it starts out, then sooner or later you just feel... like... you are in the exact spot that you need (and want) to be.
ReplyDeletei know what you mean. i was so scared about doing this whole "life on my own" thing and going to school at the same time, but it ends up that i love this way of life! and it's just flying by so fast...i am not looking forward to the day i leave logan.
ReplyDeleteI like this. It's so true though, as much as I hate change, I really love it because I'm able to conquer something new and that is a really cool feeling. I'm so glad you love it up there and you've learned to enjoy the journey.
