Tick Tock

Today, I got to ask a cop for his license. Life. Made. Granted, he was coming to pick up his tickets for the hockey game I was working but still. I recently overcame my irrational but somewhat justified fear of police officers from a childhood incident involving getting locked in a basement by an officer. It's not as hardcore as it sounds, but I'll tell that story another time.

Anyway, today was my last day of work and my last full day home. Either way, it's that time of break again: my growing excitement to go back to school and start my last semester conflicts with my desperation to do a ton of things with my family knowing I'm going to miss them for the next 4 and a half months. I'm both counting down the hours and wanting to drag them out. And here I am, at the end of my last break ever.

Yes, my last break. I'm graduating! May 11, 2013, 20 year old me will walk across the stage in my cap and gown and receive my diploma. I'd better enjoy this semester! But then I'm on to bigger and better things. At the same time, I truly believe that it's important to live in the moment and enjoy every second of it. While I'm certainly looking forward to the future, this is a time in my life I'll never get back, and I'm trying to remember every little thing about it.

I'll be honest, I'M FREAKING OUT. I'm too young to be done with "this time" in my life. People ask me if I'm going to get my Masters, and while I've certainly considered it, I don't know if that's what I want to do with my life. The thing is, I barely know if I want to go into Sports Management. Yeah, I want to stay in sports, but why not sports medicine? Why not communications? It's all a lot that I feel I had to decide so young. I'm glad to take a gap year and try to figure things out, but it all seems a bit crazy to me. I have to take everything a day at a time, and, believe it or not, it seems like time goes so slowly AND so quickly. I know I'll blink and be graduated, and blink again and summer will be over!

Ok, maybe I'm being a little bit dramatic, but I love going over the top. Probably not the best thing ha. I know everything will work out and before I know it I'll be working a random summer job (hopefully an outdoor one, that would be ideal) and then going to Europe for the Fall. Who knows? Maybe I'll even make a couple bucks off this blog! (Thanks for the motivation, Karen!) 

(Really big shout out to Karen)

Everyone keeps telling me, enjoy your last semester! And I'm like, no duh, this is it for me. Next comes marriage and then death. (Again, maybe a BIT of an exaggeration). Regardless, I'm enjoying my adventures, both the ones ending and beginning, and hopefully I'll remember to pack all my clothes and things before I leave. PACKING! That's right, well I should probably go pack. Goodbye Michigan, goodbye snow, goodbye my amigos. Until we meet again!
