The way I see it, I should be out of here in three years. Everyone tells me that high school and college are supposed to be the best times of my life. I think those people just regret the life path they chose. I had a horrible time in high school and I was dying to get out of there. Thank goodness U.C.F accepted me, or I would still be living at home commuting to the local university. I actually have been having an awesome time in college thanks to my roommates. It baffles me how close we are now because I didn’t even talk to either of them the first two weeks I lived in my apartment. Instead of complete silence, there is laughter and fun and thoughts of pet pooches running around our home. As corny as it sounds, that is my home.
After a miserable high school career, my life has begun. I moved away from all of my family, and everything has changed completely. I don’t despise my mother because she doesn’t nag me about getting a job everyday anymore. I actually get along with my brother because I’m not at the same school as him anymore. I desperately miss my older sister, her husband, and their beautiful children. I find myself all grown up. I pay my own rent, I am in charge of getting myself to class, I am responsible for all of my grades, and I have a job now. Funny how six months can completely change who you are, responsibility wise. I think about how I miss my family so much, but really I think I am better off. I am learning to deal with things on my own, with the occasional motherly step in. I can take care of myself, and I feel like I am transitioning into my life as an adult.
It doesn’t scare me to become an adult. I have been looking forward to it my entire life. Paying bills, grocery shopping or living on my own never scared me a bit. Now I feel like I am back to waiting to finish school so that I can finally start my exciting career of elementary education. I will be the perfect little teacher and I can’t wait to start my next path of life. I just hope I remember to enjoy what I am doing right now in this moment in time.
