Exit Signs & Mile Markers

... well you know the rest. 

I will officially graduate college in exactly 4 weeks. The last 5 ½ years of my life all come down to this. It's an insane feeling. I can't even begin to describe all the feelings that are accompanied with this life event: ecstatic, panic, terror, relief, and... mind-blown (does that count?)

I can honestly say I am proud of myself for how far I've come these last few years. I hit rock bottom a couple times but I got back up stronger each time. I never thought I would be where I am now and I really am ecstatic for what the next 5 years have in store for me.

What's next? I have no idea. Well, maybe a slight inkling of a clue. But I think that's part of where the feelings of panic and terror come in. Am I ready to be committed to something so long term? My past relationships scream "HELL NO!"... and for good reason. Not that I'm talking about relationships here... I'm talking about a JOB! An actual, full-time job with a college degree. Woah...
