Jumping off a cliff
What am I getting myself into? I feel as if I’ll be jumping off a cliff; I’ll be graduating from college in less than 3 weeks and taking off for a foreign country in about 3 months. Then I’ll be thrown into “the real world” by 9 months. It all seems too fast. Am I even ready?
Most of the time, I’ve tried to take pride in my immaturity – or “youth” as I’d like to refer to it as. I always look at least 7 years younger than my actual age. How can someone like me be ready to take on the world of adults or to go off on her own to a different country and fend for herself? I really have no idea, but only time will tell, and if I don’t try, I will never know.
This is an exciting time of change and growth. I feel as if I might be a different person in a very short time from now. I mean, how else am I supposed to take on those challenges? Will I actually act and look my age a year from now?
Well, I’ll need to open my eyes wide and take the plunge.
