I'm Almost Finished...

Here I sit in an empty house wondering what to do. There are many things that I could (and probably should) be doing right now. You see, I am in my final semester of university and the feeling is bittersweet. This is the time of year when final projects are well underway and must soon be handed in. The problem that I am having is that I do not really feel motivated to do the work. On one hand, I could simply just put my mind to it and get it done, but on the other hand, I almost feel that I want to drag it out for as long of possible because these are the last projects that I will every have to work on (that I know of, at least) in university. By completing them, it almost feels like this chapter of my life is coming to an end, but I'm not sure I'm ready to let go just yet. I have an appointment to have my graduation pictures taken tomorrow, and although I am proud of everything I have accomplished, it is difficult for me come to terms with the fact that in a matter of weeks I will no longer be a university student, but instead, an alumni... who knows, maybe one day they'll consider me a notable alumni! I guess for now I will just carry on with my work until I have no more to do. I am curious to know how other felt at the end of their schooling journey. Feel free to share!

  2. Thank you. I know that things will all work out the way they are supposed to, but as the saying goes "sometimes it is hard to see the forest for the trees."

    1. Thank you for your kind words. I just recently started a job and I have found myself, on more than one occasion, telling stories that begin with "when I was in college" and "when I was in university". Sorry for the late reply. The holidays and me starting a new job have had me offline for a while. Happy New Year!

    1. Thank you! There are moments that I feel very ready, but others when I feel like I just want to be eight years old again - a simpler time in life!
