This is my very last blog for UNC ever. I graduate the day after tomorrow. I could sum up the whole year or college experience, but I think my previous blogs can speak for that. Major things have happened this year though. I got engaged for one. That's pretty major. I made a bunch of new friends this year. I got a job. I'm finishing a job (this one). And of coarse I'm graduating. This has been incredible. This isn't the end of the best time of my life, but it's certainly a part of it. I'm happy to say that I don't regret anything that's happened. I've been impacted by all of it and it's made me into a man I'm happy to be. I'm pretty sure I've learned more at college from life than I have from my classes. Classes are ending but life isn't so the learning will continue I'm sure. I don't know what to say really besides these things. I feel like I should have one giant piece of wisdom to contribute after the past four years, but that might be the wrong expectation. Before college, I think I viewed it as the years that get you up to speed with the real world and once you leave college things pretty much calm down. Today I don't know if that's true. It almost feels like college built up this momentum that will continue for awhile after it's over. This isn't an anxious demanding momentum, but a thrilling momentum that carries on. How long this will last, I don't know. I've recently discovered that I don't try to think about the future too much, but immerse myself in the present. I'm glad I do. Wherever you are in life, I'd encourage you to not look at it as a season without definition or purpose, not as a transition or phase, but as a specific time that has opportunity to be something. I think that's what made college so good for me and I think it will make the next stage of life better too. It's been great. If you read this, thanks for reading. God bless.
