I started packing up some of my stuff today to take home when I go back to Cleveland for the big wedding next weekend. Remember I said I was freaking out because I have so much stuff?? Well, that's still true. I went through about a thousand folders and notebooks filled with stuff from my freshman year. Why did I never go through this? I even found my old rejection letter from the RA process. I've been an RA for a year now, why do I even have this?? When my future brother-in-law picks me up on Thursday, he will be very unhappy to see all the stuff I'm taking home in his car. But I can't live a cluttered life anymore! I'm keeping my room sparse and living simply next year. Any way I can reduce stress in my life, I'm up for it!
As a look back on all these old memories, it's hard for me to believe that I'm going to be a junior. As I begin to make plans for after graduation, I can't belief how much I have accomplished, and how much more I want to do here at OSU! Time is just flying, but I'm happy to say I don't regret a single decision, whether it ended with a rejection letter, a frustrating job, a difficult class...(well, I do wish I'd studied more, but who doesn't?)…but it’s been better than I could’ve ever imagined. I just hope I can continue along this path…
