Life brings change

Things are always changing. Between the world around us and our own lives, things are always changing. You may not think so, but it is. Life is kind of like a tree. It may not seem likes its changing, but it is. Every day, the tree is growing taller, adding or losing leaves, having animals come and go and it may lose its bark overtime. We may not think that stuff is changing around us all the time, but it is.
Going off the college this year has really shown me how much life can change, either quickly or slowly. I knew that life would change. I wasn't in high school anymore, I wasn't living at home anymore, and I wasn't with all the same people I've been going to school with for years. Change was expected. What I didn't expect from this year was myself deciding that I didn't want to be a teacher anymore, losing friends like bobby pins, and just the different way my life was going to go. As I look back at what I've gone through over the last 8 months, I've realized that all the change has helped me grow. I'd like to believe that I'm more mature than I was in August. Growing is a good thing. :)
It's gotten to that time of year where it's absolutely crazy and I can't wait for it to be over! I only have 13 days left in my freshman year of college. Which is pretty crazy! I can't wait to go home for the summer. And, this last tuesday, I declared my major, officially! I am now "officially" majoring in speech pathology! :) I'm pretty excited. (if you didn't know, you usually can't declare your major until your junior year. I'm a freshman!)
