I told my dog to sit and stay...he obeyed me for 5 seconds and then right when I took a picture he lunged forward. I caught him in an awkward moment.
My home is like a ranch. Random well in the middle of the lawn.
As I was about to leave home Sunday morning, my dad reminded me that I have one month left of school. 7 weeks to be exact, but it pretty much seems like a month. A couple more weeks and I will be finished with what I have heard is "the best time you will have." Time to evaluate that statement.
College encompasses a medley of experiences that I probably would never imagined I would have participated in when I graduated high school. When else am I going to break into a board meeting as a protester slamming trash can lids? When else am I going to slap the butt of an economics professor in England after a basketball game? When else am I going to be living in the Korean countryside while taking time off from school? When else am I going to be a reporter and get to interview Olympic athletes at press conferences? When else am I going to be able to help teach an undergraduate discussion section? When else am I going to be able to organize New York union leaders to lobby against an agricultural company? When else am I going to be able to meet a student with multiple patents, a student who won college jeopardy, and a future NBA player, all in the same day? But I will probably miss one thing the most. Living with around a great group of people and the small moments of playing basketball together, cooking together, laughing, watching random movies in the wee hours of the morning, and going out for late runs to the local Yoshinoya or McDonalds.
So, college is about to finish? Finally. As much as I loved college (wow such a crazy 4 years), it is time to move on.
I admit I don't have everything figured out. But this moment is not for speculation. This moment is to dwell in the moment. College is definitely what you make of it. God challenged me many times, and I am definitely not the same person I was 4 years ago. Some people may view me in the same manner, but I am at peace because it is a reminder of where I was and my foundation.
Although there are struggles now and in the past, the past 21 years have been great.

dang you did so much in college. yeah - 7 more weeks left!
Its so crazy - it's coming to an end soon - even the aspect of all of us living together. But you know wha?! College ain't going to be my golden years! If this is it, SHOOT, I have like 50 more years left!
Glad we will still have much contact after college (i will force it upon you though I know I won't have to).
