Moving On Up

Whew! This has been one busy week! For the last two years I've lived in the same apartment and after that much time...stuff starts to pile up! Months ago I decided I did not want to have a huge move out day along with everyone else at The Summit and so I started slowly moving my things back to my Mom's house. Trust me, if you ever have the ability to slowly move things home, DO SO! It has been the best decision I've ever made!

Our home is starting to look so disorganized and sad! My roommate Jessica came up here with an entire house full of adorable furniture and now it is so sad to see everything being packed away!

I'm also feeling a little bitter sweet about finishing school. Yesterday, Lance asked me what I would miss most about Athens and after thinking about it for a while, I decided that I would really miss starting new classes and forming bonds with people in those classes. Everyone asks my why I chose this major and what I can do with it after college. At first, those questions really disturbed me because I had no answers for them and for a while they made me regret choosing this major instead of a more focused one. Now that I am finishing up, I could really care less what people's opinions of my major are! I absolutely LOVE reading novels, poems, and plays! I've been in classes with some of the brightest and most interesting people! I've had the most AMAZING professors and also some of the most difficult to please! No matter what other people think, I have done what I love for the past five years and although there might not be a direct route between my degree in English and what career I will choose, I have no regrets!
Even though there have been moments of loneliness here in Athens, I will definitely miss the school atmosphere and the few friends I'll leave behind!
