Where has this semester gone?!?

Its hard to believe my senior year is nearly 1/4 done already... wasn't it just last week that I was going back to class? And wasn't it just a few months ago that I was moving into a dorm room and figuring out how to survive on my own?

Ironically, my senior year has so many similarities to my freshman year... my roomie and I laugh about it actually. But despite the similarity of events, I see such a difference in how they affect me.

This semester has already brought a lot of changes, and I wonder on a regular basis how it is that I have changed this much since last year. I have so many big choices ahead of me, and so many plans for the future. I know so many of the decisions I have made in the last few months confuse my friends, but I know in my heart that I am at peace with each and every one of them right now. I am so happy... and that happiness isn't based on some other person or on anything superficial, but its simply because I am living the life I want. I am pushing myself and working hard and getting to where it is that I have always wanted to be. And I have some amazing people in my life who are cheering me on every step of the way. I would not trade that for the world...
