My favorite thing about Friday's aren't just the fact that I don't have college, but the spirit that surrounds this day. The feeling of fun, excitement and spontaneity that lies ahead for the weekend. How will I spend these next fall days?
Writing letters to several friends has occupied some of my day, while eating lunch with my art friends has also been checked off the list. Here is the thing about college. And it's something I'm just now realizing. (Yes. I am in my 5th year of college.)
It's amazing to think that my parents have been supporting me while I essentially play adult. That's not saying I don't have things to do, and I don't get them done. Because I do, I rarely let the imaginary ball drop. So when Friday morning wakes me, I have a sense of freedom. I can do whatever I want. See whom ever I want. Be where ever I want. Okay, all of those things do come with some limits, obviously. But lately, all of those things are in my reach in this booming city of Huntsville, Texas. Which is C-RAZY to admit.
Again, I go back to the idea of how our parents have all let us go live on our own, have our own apartments and make our own life choices. Naturally, I understand this life I have built for myself will never be the same once I enter post-grad life. Because that is when they stop paying the bills and Julia has to actually be an adult. As I near that world, I know things will change, some for the bad, but I firmly believe growing older is a gift. I think about all the things that adulthood will bring, and I'm almost certain that the pros the out weigh the cons.
Today I will be focusing on the fact that I get to play. I get to enjoy my amazing friends. And I get to do the things that make me feel most like myself. Creating, laughing, writing and maybe a little beer.
