The Great Beyond

It seems strange to plan for life beyond college. Everything in life was all leading up to these four years (or back when I had visions of being a doctor, 12 years... haha). Lately, I've been thinking beyond. I don't have much choice, I suppose.

I applied for a study abroad program next fall semester. The University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. I really hope I get it, it will be an adventure like no other.

But back to post-college plans. Naturally I only have the vaguest idea of what I want to accomplish career-wise, but I'm getting better at that. I'm going to a meet and greet social type deal with PRSSA and our parent group, PRSA.

Tori and I decided we need to globetrot together. We decided Fiji. Sounds perfect. :) Ogden and I had a planning session about traveling to Morocco together after she graduates undergrad before tearing into vet school. It seems so weird to plan things with my younger friends, knowing full well that I'll have already survived a year in the REAL WORLD by then.

My habit of completely living it up this semester has caused life to slide past my eyes, no brakes! I have no regrets, and I'm sure by the time it's over I will be ready for the next phase, but for now I'm clutching onto the last threads of my time at MSU. My last Halloween here, my last chance to play a fall tournament, my last few months with my senior friends... so many lasts. I am confident there will also be many new beginnings here in the end, though.

Perhaps I'm counting down a little too soon?
