In the past month, I have lived through a week of finals, "senior week" (aka the-most-unhealthy-week-of-your-life), graduated college (!!!), had a sweet graduation party in NYC, attended two other graduation parties, and moved twice. I've said 100 goodbyes, and a 100 more hellos. I've left a new home, and returned to an old one. And frankly, I'm exhausted.
I know people generally feel either: really happy to be done with college and start life in the "real world", or really sad to put their "let's party on a Tuesday" days behind them. I've felt a little bit of both. I know I'm ready to move on and start the next chapter, but at the same time, it is bittersweet letting go of that lifestyle- being surrounded by your close friends all the time, living on your own general schedule, free concerts, parties, etc. There really is nothing quite like college, and I know I will miss it. But I've thoroughly enjoyed my four years, and you can't move forward if your looking back. So, that brings me to my next adventure...
Those of you who know me know that I have a problem sitting still. So since I have a large part of the summer off before I begin work, I am going to go explore Europe for a few months. I'll be posting the e-mails from the trip to share what I'm doing with the people I love, and to hear how you all are doing in return. And if you have any suggestions on places I should see while in Europe (or want to come along end of July - early August!), let me know, because I have relatively no idea what I'm doing.
=)
Love Life,
Meli
