Senior Year: Now and Then

A lot has changed in 4 years...

August 7...
2007: Got my acceptance letter from CalU.
2011: My first official day of no work and internship.

Thoughts on going into my senior year...
2007: One more year of high school. I can't wait for college!
2011: One more year of college. I'm not ready for the real world!

Dating...
2007: Dating the same guy since eighth grade.
2011: Single, but not alone.

Presidential election...
2007: I really need to register to vote.
2011: Has it really been almost 4 years since I watched CNN's coverage of the inauguration?

Major choices...
2007: Graphic Design.
2011: Industrial Organizational Psychology.

Jobs, jobs, jobs...
2007: What job?
2011: Community Assistant, sales associate, and volunteer management intern.

It seems like for everything that has changed, there are still some constants in my life. I've seen some friends drift apart and others become some of the best I've ever had. I've mourned the losses of friends and family. I've grown emotionally and mentally (and maybe even a few inches taller, too).

I've experienced things I never thought possible...



I was on national, prime time television...



I met one of my heroes...



I was called one of the best CAs someone's ever had...

And those constants? They're the people I call my amazing best friends and I love them to death.



...And I'm sure there will be more memories made this senior year, but for now, I've got to run to the bus stop and head home for the day.
