Three Weeks

I am officially three weeks away from graduating from college. It’s incredibly cliche, but the time went by extremely fast in hindsight. I know I am ready to be rid of homework. I’m trying my best not to question every decision I ever made these past four years. I have a plan for the future. It might take many years before I am considered to be “successful,” but I do have direction, despite the B.A. in English I am about to receive. I don’t have a job lined up yet, but I will be able to work a little bit for my current employer, so I won’t be entirely destitute. I think the excitement of graduating is outweighing the fear of being unemployed for awhile. But I won’t be unemployed for long. I’m not picky in terms of what kind of job I would like to secure. As long as I get benefits, it’s perfect.

In other news, I am beyond thrilled to put this nonsense behind me:

I am not a partier. It’s not my style. I prefer enjoying a bottle of wine at home in the company of a few friends. Not causing an actual riot in the middle of a college neighborhood. Graduating also means I will be able to move away from this area of the Metro. Hopefully it will be a little quieter.

I still have plenty of homework to do. Lots of reading, a couple small papers, one large research paper, a quiz. Then there will be the stress of finals week. But in 20 days? I’ll be DONE! Get a “real” job, pay for my own cell phone, buy a car, have my own health insurance. I’m really looking forward to reading what I want.
