10 Weeks.

That’s it. That’s all I have left. College will be over soon.

Last time I blogged, I was a college junior who was so enthralled in her core PR classes. My biggest worry was staying relevant, making connections, and trying to impress professors. Now, after overcoming the challenges of saying goodbye to friends, making new ones, experiencing an amazing internship, and pushing through my final fall semester with a new job, a whole new milestone is creeping upon my ball field: graduation.

I’ll be honest. I like to stay busy. It’s part of my indestructible need to keep moving forward. It also keeps me from facing my own realities. The idea of college ending is bittersweet. I catch myself telling people that I don’t want to think about it. It’s scary. The world out there, you know. You here of these stories of graduates who miss college. “Those were the simpler days,” they’ll say. But it occurs to me as I write this, that we will always compare our current situations to our past ones. We will always say that the past was simpler, easier even. It’s crazy how my logic turns my worries into excitement. Hell – I made it! I am almost at the finish line. “La etapa final” – my dad calls it.

Grad school applications are in. Graduation announcements ordered. Plane tickets purchased. Bucket list made.

So with that, I am going to run with these 10 weeks. I’ve got friends, bucket lists, a blog, and a bottle of hope – hope that all will fall into place. And guess what? I’m gonna blog about it.

Here are a few photos that explain why I’ve been MIA.
