Lifestyle

Now that graduation is quickly approaching, I have been thinking about how my life will be different once I graduate. College and being in school in general has really determined my lifestyle. There are 3 things that I've noticed.

1. I don't really know how to live without a to do list.

I'm a list person.  Lists help me get organized and stay organized.  But they also help me know what I need to do and prioritize.  For as long as I can remember, I've had to put my homework and things for school on my to do list.  I have to check my to do list every day, multiple times a day.  Carry it with me anywhere I go.  Once I graduate, I won't need to do that anymore.

2.  I don't know how to live a life that isn't planned around school and homework 

 Ever since grade school, work comes before play.  If I'm not done with my homework, I don't do things.  If I have an early school day the next day, I don't go out that night.  Homework and school has pretty much dictated my life, but soon, that is no more. 

3. I don't know, as much as I used to, how to have fun.

Because of the lifestyle of college, I feel like my sense of fun, and knowing how to have fun, has been muffled a little.  There are always things that I want to do and things that I don't want to do, but those desires and that spontaneity is stifled because of things I have to do.  

I love college, but it's hard.  I love learning, but it's hard.  I love school, but it's hard.  But I can do it, I can finish, I can thrive, I can do all things.
