One chapter finished so it’s time for the next

What is there that I could say about college that hasn’t been said already? I don’t know if I’d call it the best experience of my life (would’ve been nicer if it wasn’t so expensive), but I can say that it has had a major impact on who I am. I’ve also learned a lot of valuable information for doing what I enjoy and it has

been incredibly gratifying to see my writing improve. There’s not much for me to say about my time at Texas A&M University Kingsville, but I am grateful for being able to go to college even if it took me longer than I expected to finish. The only nice thing I can say about having attended for a while is that I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of amazing and interesting people, both peers and professors alike. Much like the end of any chapter, you can’t help but wonder what happens next, and I’m wondering the same. I have plenty of ideas for what I’d like to do such as some freelance writing or editing or maybe I could just work on some creative projects that I’ve had sitting on the backburner for what feels like ages at this point.

Maybe I’ll dive straight into the workforce and see where I end up. Maybe I’ll try my hand at doing all three of those things at once at the risk of burning out. Who knows really?

I certainly don’t know as of writing this article, but I think that’s quite all right. Rather than feeling some fear for the uncertainty of my future, I feel immense excitement. I think there’s a sort of joy that comes from approaching the unknown, especially if you’re willing to handle anything that you throw yourself into.

If there’s anything that I find I can’t handle then I’ll simply do what I can to find a way to make things work out in my favor. I know most folks might not think it’s the best or most sound plan, but to be Frank, planning was never my strong suit.
