THE FINAL CHAPTER
I am starting my senior year of college Monday, which is truly hard to fathom right now. It does not feel real. Just yesterday, I posted about my high school graduation pictures. Right? The reality is that these years have flown by and have been more challenging than expected.
College has taught me more than higher education. It has shown me the depths of my personality, newfound strength, and unexpected ambition. I have had to rely on myself for my good grades and support. One of the most valued weapons I have discovered in college is how well I can do while feeling alone. Loneliness started as a negative thing for me entering college, and over time it became this drive to do well for myself. Seeking how I can be the best version of myself through God's strength and grace has been my driving source. Being alone in ways of friends and dating can be a blessing. I have learned to love the independence I have in myself and that I can see outcomes of my hard work that was doubted by many going into college.
Any season of life can be a blessing in many facets.
Finding time in my loneliness has opened doors for closer family relationships, unexpected good grades, and discovering who I truly am in Christ without distractions. And seeing how much God has molded me thus far shows how much more I still will grow during my senior year of college. I will continue to hold on to the promises God states in Scripture and witness the beauty of this season of my life.
Cheers to SENIOR YEAR.
