Life.. is.. a beautiful thing. We often trot through life wishing for the next day, hoping time will pass by more quickly, or begging the universe for change. Ages ago I decided I was done with that. I chose to stop waiting for tomorrow, and, instead, I set off on journey to live my life to the very fullest at every single moment of my existence. However, I have had a bit of a breakdown as of late or, to be more specific, as of Thursday. I woke up anxious. I had to perform. Thoughts of it blatantly crossed my mind over and over. The closer I got to my final performance, the more nervous I became. But, we did it. I did it. We succeeded. I succeeded. We thrived. I thrived. And, I believe we all passed with flying colors. Then, we were done, and I realized that the work I left in that classroom studio was priceless. I dumped every bit of effort I had into that one performance, every last bit of undergraduate energy I had left in me. My last round of finals were over with. Sure, I had a field trip Friday morning, my last class period, but I had already submitted my final assessment. I had finished my work as an undergraduate college student. I realized I was done.
I am tired. I am exhausted. I am inspired. I am proud. I never skipped class. I read every single assignment. I poured my whole being into my college education. I pursued an internship. I worked four different jobs, all at once. I performed, auditioned, and volunteered my time in the theatre. I managed to find time to lend to my friends. I set aside time to edit friends’ papers. I never missed an assignment. I respected and cared for every, single one of my professors. I became a guide, a leader. I studied and lived abroad, and it changed my life for the better. I learned what it means to truly be happy. I understand what life is all about. I understand the importance of patience. I know what love is. I am left with inspiration. I am left with motivation. I am left with vast aspirations. I am ready for what is next. I am ready for life. I look forward to my future, but I do not wish for it even a day earlier than it is meant to come. I am human. I am loved. I am educated. I am so lucky to have studied in the places I have studied. I owe my heart and soul to the world and all who live here with me, by my side.
To all of my friends and strangers, remember to ask yourself this one little thing every, single day: am I making the most of my own, little life? And, I hope you answer yes, every. single. time.
