Wow how
my life is changing my first semester is almost over, I am going to job
interviews, and my sister is getting married in less than a year. I never
thought I would be going through all the changes in life at once. It’s not a
bad thing because it keeps life interesting, but it is still scary at the same
time. The other changes in life I am facing is a change in friends. I remember
thinking in high school my friends and I would be friend’s forever, and I would
not need other friends because I had them. I now know people change and this
allows more people to be invited into my life, which is a great thing. Who knew
I would be such great friends with a person in my chemistry class. The funny thing
is we scheduled are classes the same.
The
other change in my life is my sister moving on into a new life. It is scary
that my sister won’t be living with me next year. My older sister is just not
my sister she is by best friend. It hard to believe I grew so close with her
this past year, and soon she will be moving out. I am very happy for her, but I
am just not a person who likes change. The great part is I will get her room
and a new hang out spot at her house. I haven’t told her that yet. I just might
keep that a secret for now. Now I guess I will just embrace the changes in my
life!
Hey there! Like you, I can highly relate to a lot of the changes that you had gone through as this semester comes to a close. Last year, around this time, I was a pretty free spirited person. I went to school, got out of school, and went out and basically explored the world. I am not going to lie; it was probably one of the best times of my life. Accompanied with my closest friends, we would drive around my home county until we stumbled upon something really cool and unusual, such as a new river, or drove around the county until we were officially lost. For me, I really enjoyed being a free spirited, young individual because everything seemed so seemingly new and bright to me. I found out who I was, and basically enjoyed doing so. Well, as this semester began, I, and the world around me began to change. This really isn’t for the better or for the worse, but I began developing an infrastructure on my life. I began creating rigorous schedules for myself to complete, and basically reorganized my whole daily routine. I am now more civil and calm, and I enjoy that as well. I guess you can easily say that I basically grew up a little more. Not grew up as in maturity, just grew up as in receiving more responsibility. Like this, a lot of my friends are undergoing the same situation that I went through in the beginning of this semester. I cannot tell if it is for better or for worse, but I feel like an adult now.
ReplyDeleteI guess I would have to agree with you it is change, but we are growing up. A scary thought, soon enough we will be off in the world on our own. No more living under our parent’s roof and for me that means my parents taking care of me. Right now I rely on my parents so much; I never knew I would have to be responsible for so much. Such as managing money this is a big one. This has to deal with college loans and saving money for the future. Well I am not totally on my own my parents are guiding me through the process. I thank God every day I have them, because without them I would be totally lost. I do agree I have become way more responsible. In high school I would wait till the last minute before doing my homework. This was not one of my better qualities, and I probably won’t share this with my family! Now that I am paying for my schooling I have to take it serious. If I fail a class in college the money is coming out of my pockets, and being a poor college student I don’t have money to waste. Although we are growing up it does not mean we have to take life so serious. Our college years are supposed to be some of the best years of our lives. So let’s makes a promise to ourselves to work hard, but still have fun. Time in life is too precious to waste. Good luck with the whole growing up process, and at least we are not in it alone!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everyone is either going for job interviews or getting jobs right now; as I am one also. I agree that this first semester has flew by but I am actually okay with that as I am ready for this year to be over and for next year to start (I am still in high school and ready to move onto actual college). This first semester has been a great experience for me as I have made new friends and am not as shy as I used to be. I have not had a drastic change in my life yet such as having new friends that push my old friends out the door. Since most of my friends are still in high school we still all live around each other. Occasionally on the weekends I still hangout with all of my friends. This is where I would say that there are two different categories of friends. There are primary friends and secondary friends. To me, my primary friends are my friends that have been around for awhile. I still share everything with them and we are frequently with each other. A secondary friend for me would be someone that I talk to a lot in school, work, etc. but do not actually hang out with a lot on my free time. I still share jokes with friends like this and talk to them frequently but I just would not classify them as primary friends. It almost seems like a friend has to become a secondary friend before they can become a primary friend. Sometimes it takes them a while to get out of the secondary friend category though.
ReplyDeleteHi! I think change is great because it really shapes a person and helps you grow up even though it really sucks sometimes. Congrats for your sister and congrats for you. School is really a big deal so finishing your first semester of college is awesome, I know how it feels because I am in the same boat. I also understand the whole trouble with your friends changing because I too went through that. I learned it really early though, freshman year to be exact. All my friends were changing into different people and all the groups of friends were getting smaller and changing and boys were a huge deal. Well I lost a lot of friends over petty drama that year which really sucked because you are getting put into a whole new situation and then you are losing the people you have always been around. Well good news is we got back on friend terms but we were definitely not as close, I lost a lot of best friends in high school and now I am okay with it. I am really a senior but I do full time at Rhodes so I really don’t talk to anyone from school and its nice because I am not involved in any of the drama. My best friend is doing PSEO too and we love it. We hang out all the time and guess what, no drama. Anyway, things will change and you will think it sucks and maybe that it isn’t right but really it is. It all works out for a reason and you will be an even happier person later on!
