Seasons

Have you ever noticed that once you're tired of summer, the leaves start changing? That once you think you can't bear another snowstorm, the flowers start to bloom?

I feel the same way about my life. At this time last year, I would have told you I was terrified of going to college and that I would miss high school way too much. But now that I'm halfway through my senior year, with college just months away, it seems like more of a relief than something to fear. I feel like God knows me so well that He would not make college come too early or too late. He has it come at the perfect time, when I feel like another year of high school would drive me crazy.

This isn't to say that there's nothing about high school that I will miss. There are plenty of things that I will think back on fondly, and certainly miss very much. I will miss seeing friends that I've known forever every day, I will miss having teachers that truly care about me, and plenty of other things about high school. That being said, college is coming at the perfect time. The leaves are changing, and I'm excited to see where this new season will take me.
