From High School Grad to Wait What's Next?

Summer has hit and with it, the realization that I will be a College Student in a few short days. It's all coming so fast, but I realize that I need to get organized and actually get ready for the onslaught of work. Which means postponing my publishing date for my book. Setting aside other work that will have to wait. I am delighted though at the fact that all of the classes that I will be taking are both beneficial to pursue my degree in Nursing, but also interesting to me.
 For starters I'm taking a class over the Literature of the Trojan war. I looked over the required reading and it was already books that I was planning to delve into anyways. And then the other classes I'm taking are General Psychology and Statistics.
 I decided to take summer classes to jump start my learning, and in the long run, hopefully I can graduate in three years instead of just four. Maybe I will stumble across new adventures along the way, but who knows?

Class of 2014: Graduation


    Wow I just can't believe it. I finally graduated, it's like a breathe of fresh air, yet fear fills me as I anticipate the unknown. The real world. Life filled with college, work and careers. I plan to pursue nursing and I know what I want. But everything that you can plan can still be blown to smithereens. 
     Between online classes, work, color guard and my boyfriend my summer will be packed. Will life fall into a monotonous pace or will a new adventure be waiting for me around the corner. Sometimes I wonder what God has planned for me, but I know that it all will be revealed in due time. Right now I have to focus on the most important thing and make it the most important thing.
       High school has taught me a lot and that I need to be careful about who I trust, what I am involved in and what I focus my mind on. Overall the graduation was everything that I expected and so much more and I can't wait to take on the world. I am planning for the future while living in the present. I have goals and I know that I can accomplish them. But this fear of college still finds a way to creep itself into all of the cracks. 
      So in the long run when you are feeling down Jeremiah 29:11 might help. :)

 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
