My thoughts 4 years ago
* Before my senior year I will be in a serious relationship. Getting married. Getting a job- nope. I guess I have hope of this extra year I'm taking. Maybe now before I graduate?
* Graduation date: May 2011- ummmm no
* I'm dreading this. These next few years are going to drag by- if only I could go back to Freshman year. I don't think I enjoyed the first 2 years enough. Fastest 4 years ever!
* I don't paint my nails, especially not pink!- I now paint my nails all the time especially when I'm stressed. Current color: pink
* I won't join a sorority- false. I've now been in 2 and I love SAO and all of my sisters.
* I'm so quiet I'll never make any friends- this is a good one to prove wrong! I have opened up so much and I now have the best friends a girl could ask for
* Pre-Med/Bio- HA! who was I kidding. That didn't work out so well
* Remember where I came from and what I believe in- check. This one stayed the same
* Graduate on time- nope.
* Figure out who I am- still working on this one
* Grow up-I'll always be a kid at heart but I do know when it comes time to be serious
* I don't cry- I can't say this anymore. I have learned when crying is appropriate
* I will never date a boy from Tech- I almost didn't go here. I guess I technically didn't date him. Yeah, I'll say that.
* I'll make my parents proud- I work hard at this everyday.
* etc...
I love my life, I love my friends and (some days, lets be honest) I love what I'm doing with life but I have had a few regrets along the way. I won't get into those but I decide they aren't so bad after all every day. Everything happens for a reason. I know this and I know I have used this verse before but it gets me through the days-
"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." Jeremiah 29:11
From a 17 year old girl to a almost 22 year old things may not have always gone as I had planned and I may not be doing what I sat here 4 years ago thinking about but I take comfort in the fact that my future is planned out. I may hit a few roadblocks along the way but after the detour I will find out what is waiting for me. With my faith in God anything is possible and I will get my happily ever after :)
Hi Katie! I'm glad that I found your blog because I have been feeling the same! I'm going into my junior year and I feel that life is going by wayyy too fast..and I haven't accomplished any of the things I thought I would. But, I have grown in sooo many ways and am learning how to appreciate the life I have :) Thanks for this post!
