(Im)Pending Graduation

It's hard to believe that I'm about to graduate from college.  It's been four years of excitement, friends, and successes.  It's also been four years of stress, pain, drama, and yes, even failures.  Thankfully, the good times far outweigh the bad, which I have to tell myself almost every day.

Honestly, I never thought I'd get to this point in life.  I never thought I'd get to my senior year without getting married.  I never thought I would survive nursing school.  I never thought I wouldn't "go out with a bang," but right now that's the way it's looking.  Yes, school is going well and I absolutely love nursing, but my college career is certainly not ending the way I thought it would.  I always thought I would graduate from nursing school and take a job wherever my husband was working or going to school.  I always thought I would have a million friends by now and party away my last semester of nursing school.  Unfortunately, it isn't working out that way.

I have no idea where I'm going to work after graduation.  I don't know where I'm going to be living in 3 months.  There are so many decisions to make still and so much still to do before I'm done.  Even with all my "free" time between classes and my capstone clinical schedule, I live a really boring life.  But, it's okay.  It's all going to work out.  I'll find a job, I'll figure out where I'm supposed to live, maybe I'll take up a hobby.  Whatever happens, it all happens for a reason.
