Grow up or throw up.

This is the theme of my life right now I feel like. haha. I start COLLEGE tomorrow. Well... technically I start college on Tuesday, but I move in tomorrow. Today will forever be termed "the day before my life changed for ever." Seriously. I'm going to call it that. Anyways. As of tomorrow where I eat, sleep, shower, socialize, learn, cry, laugh, trip, etc. will be different and, for the most part, new. Am I excited? Yes. Am I equal parts terrified? Yes. I am not a character who necessarily meshes well with change, so this whole idea scares the pants right off me, but I do love an adventure. And I gilmore girls taught me that eventually it is important to separate from your mother. haha. I have grown and gotten so much stronger throughout this process of applying, phone calling, emailing, scheduling, and finance organizing. It's really strange to think about where I was in my maturity this time last year, versus where I am right now, and where I will be 5 years from now. Granted. I still don't think I am mature enough for half of what I've needed to do for college so far... But it's in the principle I guess. So my next post will mos likely be made from the comfort of my top bunk. I never thought this day would come! haha. I always thought I would feel so grown up and ready! (which I don't fyi) But you know, as miley cyrus so famously sings, it's the climb! Sing it girl. haha :) I am so blessed by this whole experience. Now that all of the getting ready and organizing is over with, I can finally sit back and appreciate the process and how much it's meant to me. As stressful as some of it was. More than anything (I know I've said this before) growing up has taught me how to appreciate having fun. How to balance my priorities. & how growing up isn't all that bad, it's just different. I'm incredibly thankful for how much I've learned this year, this summer, and even this month. The Lord has been doing a number on my heart as I've been preparing for this new journey, and I can't wait to see what opportunites, lessons, and friendships I'm blessed with through out this year.

Tomorrow begins new experiences. New friends. New responsibilities. New battles. & New faith. I can't wait to write more about it :)
Yeah God!
