<p>yesterday i just got my graduation cap and gown. i tried them on and felt like i was swimming in the gown. anyways, it’s strange how graduation approaches so quickly yet the decision on where i will be for the next four years crawls along. it’s funny how so much of my work i’ve put in to the past 4+ years culminate in the next 1.5 months. not that i worked with every intention of getting into college, but i worked so i could get somewhere in life, and college is the next step. </p>
<p>it just seems sad that we have to sit around hoping that our future we dreamed of will come true. we must “sell” ourselves to see if the college wants to invest in us (when, in fact, we just invest in them…). i don’t want to sound down so i’ll end with the fact that everyone has hope 
for the future they dreamed of. where ever we go, it is what we make of it. freedom of choice. life throws us curves, but the true reward is what we make of it. as a Christian, i turn to the serenity prayer: “God please give me the courage to accept the things i cannot change, courgage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” as a reminder, for the Christians out there (and even nonChristians), God has a plan for you… perfect in every way :)</p>
