6 weeks and counting

Can you believe I only have 6 weeks left of being a college student?! That is a crazy statement right there. I'm 8 weeks finished and 6 to go, which sounds like I'm just a little over halfway through but I know that the end is just going to fly. I am not prepared for this!

I have 3 major projects and an honors project all of which I haven't really started yet, or need a lot of work. Not to mention that I need to find a job... and while I'm busy networking, sending my out resume and cover letter, conducting informational interviews, and forming lists of jobs and companies I want to apply to... it still feels like I'm not prepared. Oh man, the real world may not be as glamorous as it seems.

You have to keep in mind that I'm great at complaining about my life and about being overwhelmed, but I absolutely adore everything I do. I love my classes, my job working in Admission and my internship. I'm incredibly sad to think about the possibility (read: the reality) that everything will be coming to an end very soon. It is so bittersweet-- while I desperately want to be finished with homework and studying and a crazy schedule, I'm so sad to think that everything in my life as I know it will be done in 6 weeks. It is going to be so weird not being able to do everyday Suffolk things. I've been a student for the past 16 (going on 17) years... crazy that in only 6 weeks that won't be the case anymore. It is difficult to fathom. I may be tired and cranky from having too much on my plate, and complain about it often, but the truth is I love my life and wouldn't have it any other way.

I hope it is normal for graduating seniors to be as crazy as I am. This package of feelings (fear, excitement, sadness, anxiety, enthusiasm, etc.) is nuts. I'm trying to reassure myself that my craziness is normal. Sigh, 6 weeks...
