It's time.

it's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger but then, I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was 

now don't you understand

that I'm never changing who I am

~Imagine Dragons

It's time to begin the beginning of the end for me.
Senior year.
HOLY SH!T I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY HERE!!!!!
I feel like a freshman still.. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN??

There's so many things to do.. applications, parties, classes, scholarships, running, leading, working, being... Not gonna lie, it's been EXTREMELY overwhelming to THINK about. And the year hasn't started. Cool. Thanks, God. This is supposed to be the best year of my life, but right about now it's feeling like hands down, this is going to be my busiest year yet. There's never any downtime... or rather, there never should be.

BUT THIS YEAR
I'm also beginning a new thing.
Maybe you've heard of it.... it's called TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION.
Wow, I feel old already.
I'm gonna plan out my days, write down my assignments, deadlines, etcc ahead of time.
I'm buying one of those little desk calendars that sits on top of your desk and you can write on.
And I'm gonna write on it. Oh yes, this shall be good.

It's just a goal, of course...
Whether or not my vision of my extreme organization becomes 100% visualized is not the point.
I'm going to do my best, though, and by George, I know I'll succeed at least a little bit because I HAVE CON-FI-DENCE IN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (I'm just really feelin' the music tonight..)

But, because of this organization, I'm DETERMINED not only to be organized and on top of my stuff, but to find appropriate time to rest, be present in my family, and just enjoy my year. To truly relax and forget about all the stresses. Because THAT'S more what senior year is about. Growing and discovering more about myself- talents, limits, quirks, and habits- and beginning to really form myself as a daughter for Christ and an active adult WHILE also having the time of my life with my crazy friends and these girls I've been blessed to spend 3 (soon to be 4) fabulous years.

I cannot wait for this new chapter to truly unfold.
This orientation tomorrow is step 1. So, Senior Year, ready or not, HERE I COME.
