Blink of an Eye

          The day you have been looking forward to your entire life has come and gone in a blink of an eye. A new chapter has opened in your life and you are all of a sudden a "real adult". After my first year of University I made a countdown for when i'll be finished, I couldn't wait to be done school forever. Like most people I changed my mind on my career path once in university and took a year longer to complete university.  I decided 3 years in that I wasn't going to get excepted into education so I should try for something else. Truthfully I am really happy with that choice and am happy with my degree, but down under I still wish I did education or had the guts to move away and do interior design. As some people ask why didn't I do interior design and its because I was terrified to move away, and there is absolutely no market for that type of business where I live.
       
        University is a unique part of your life because you start to figure out who you truly are and who your true friends are. University is a point in time to start a clean slate and meet new people. As many people from my high school all go to the same university, I didn't meet many new people until I was a few years into my degree because you end of taking courses together. I love the friends I made in University and hope to stay in contact with some of them as it is easy to loose track of them as people graduate at different times and get "grown up" jobs. The day I was so looking forward to, the day where you walk across the stage and have 1000s of people looking at you as they call out your name has gone by like a blink of an eye. All the nerves and telling myself don't fall you just have to make it to the other end of the stage, is still there. The nerves are there but for different reasons. I'm not waiting to go across the stage, i'm trying to figure out where my life will take me. I now have to start looking at moving out, buying a car and getting a job (which isn't the easiest). I had the realization that it is very hard to get a job in my field and will probably have to do fly-in, fly-out jobs. As much as I am terrified, I have to realize I am young and this will just be for a little while, it gets my foot in the door for a better job. I am terrified of growing up, but so are a lot of people and I just have to take it day my day.
