No Good Way

So this is the week! My grades are up, my paperwork is in, my bag are packed, and my emotional bags are almost packed. This semester has been some of the best months of my life so far and I am sad to see them come to an end. It is strange the paths you take when you have an end in sight, and don't have the time to pace down endless paths. P.S. this post might be long as I have not posted in a while.

I am sitting in my Parents Living Room in Virginia Beach drinking a Jack and Ginger. I drove down today to say goodbye to everyone before I head to OH. My mother made a wonderful pasta dinner with homemade meatballs in a perfect red sauce. After dinner I decided it was a perfect time to clean out my bedroom for the summer, so all of my boxes from RVA could fit in the closet. I ended up spending an hour looking through all the sentimental crap I am accumulated over the year. It started with old planners and playbills and then escalated into the dreaded ex boyfriend boxes (they all have one). Looking back through jokes I don't remember and awkward relationship moments I wish I could forget I realized that I have lived a full and gifted life already and that everything after graduation is cake. If I can conquer 4 Proms, long distance lovers, crazy crying theater teachers, unconditional love, professional actors and technicians, and original H.S. playwrights (yikes!), than I can live through the real world, and that was all just in High School.

In College the life lesson I have learned are far greater. I have learned to get what I want and how that is different than what I need, how to control a room, conquer my tear ducts, unconditional love, physical pain, make hard choices for myself, cut and run, and soak everything up like a sponge. Real world, I don't think you can throw me anything I can't handle.

Weathervane is starting this Thursday and I am more excited than I expected. My summer in OH have always been amazing and highly memorable, I am lucky to be going back.

Well, the next time I post I will be holding my Bachelor in Fine Arts in Stage Management, but about to leave by amazing and loving RVA family. Everything has consequences.

My Deepest Love and Respect for everything you don't remember you have achieved in your life.
