Life moves much too quickly. If only it had a pause button and a remote. A "Life TiVo" would be nice because right now, I need one.
Somehow, I am about to begin my senior year at K-State and it is completely inevitable that it too will end much too quickly.
This summer I accepted a job in Kedzie Hall on campus to help enroll incoming freshmen into the Miller School of Journalism, knowing I would thoroughly enjoy it, and through the first week I have.
It's just funny though to know that just three years ago I too was in the same library about to enroll into my first semester at K-State. It seems to bring as much joy as it does fear. I have found myself several times feeling envious of the students who I am enrolling. What I wouldn't give to be in their position, about to enroll into the best four years I could possibly ask for.
It brings back a vivid memory, again from my first trip to Manhattan with my dad the summer prior to my freshman year. I remember right as we returned home to Dallas, shortly after I told him that I was certain I wanted to go to K-State, that my dad told me that he too was completely envious of myself. He too wanted to return to the four years he spent at K-State.
And now, looking back, I know just how he felt.
But I have one more year to go at K-State, and for that I am extremely grateful. It will be my goal to make the most of it, while at the same time trying to avoid the feelings of anxiety and fear.
I'm truly excited for what life holds beyond college, but for now, it's time to enjoy all college has to offer—one more time.
