I am officially a college graduate! I graduated from Loyola Marymount University on May 5, 2012 with a BA in Communication Studies. The past four years have gone by wayyyy too fast. I know there were moments throughout my college years that I did not feel that way, but now that they are over, they feel like a blink of an eye.
It is a bittersweet feeling to graduate. It is exciting because it means I am starting a new adventure and a new journey in my life, but it is also sad because I am saying goodbye to amazing friends and the familiarity. Yes, after 4 years I am ready for the next chapter of my life, I was ready to graduate, but going into the unknown can always be scary. It was scary picking a college, and it was scary deciding what I was going to do beginning the next chapter of my life. Although we never know where our paths will lead or the direction our lives will take we all need to make decisions regarding the future, and I have done just that.
I am moving to New York. I am going to New York University for graduate school. I will be getting my Masters of Arts in School Counseling. I have no clue if I will actually end up working in a school or being a counselor, but it is something I enjoy and I figured it would be a useful degree to have because I never know when I will need it.
I am really excited for this next stage in my life. I am stoked to be moving to NY! Every time I have visited I fell in love, and I can't wait to be there for at least 2-years. I am excited to run around central park, explore the streets of the different districts, see the giant Christmas tree, go ice skating during the winter time. I am looking forward to a change.
It's funny, when I was growing up all I wanted to do was to live in LA. I decided when I was little I was going to move back to the US, stay there for life and live in LA. Upon entering college I reevaluated my thinking and realized that I wanted to live internationally again. I ended up living in LA, and as much as I love the city, I realized I was ready for a change of scenery and location. I may not be ready for the cold weather (okay, I am REALLY REALLY not ready for the cold weather), but I am ready for a change and the excitement that goes with it!
