This is long overdue.
I feel like I haven’t spoke my mind in a while. I feel fairly happy. The only thing I am really concerned about is my future. I really, truly prefer to live in the present but being that I will be graduating in less than 4 months I really do not have that luxury. I’m concerned about living at home for an entire year because of my home conditions but I know it is the only thing I can really do financially. I feel like money gets in the way of everything for me (and almost everyone else in the world). I really hate it but there is obviously no other way to live unless I was to win the lottery which clearly would never happen considering I have never in my life bought a lottery ticket.
As a side note but also very important note, I’d like to state that leaving New Paltz will be a deeply sad event in my life. I guess I could consider it bittersweet but probably more on the bitter side. I love everything about New Paltz: the people, the town, going to class, doing nothing, walking around, Mohonk, Minnewaska, my favorite professors (Corwin<3), my least favorite professors, EVERYTHING. Mostly, though, the people. I have met so many amazing people that I plan to surround myself with for the rest of my life. I am so incredibly thankful for how much New Paltz has opened my eyes to new things and people. I am a much more accepting, loving, caring and probably interesting person because of it and for that reason I am forever grateful.
On a lighter, less intense note, I start my internship in about 2 weeks at Grace Smith House and I am psyched! I can’t wait to be involved with this organization. I feel like it is going to be one of the best experiences of my life and so rewarding! I can feel it in my bones! Hopefully this will help me decide what my future will hold. In the mean time I will be focusing on my classes, work and my beautiful friends<3
