When I graduated high school I got a card from my crazy cousin that had a comic strip on the front of it. It showed a graduate running away from high school jumping and screaming with excitement. The next picture showed the high school off in the distance with the graduate still smiling and carrying on. Then the next picture showed the graduate running into a brick wall and falling to the ground. This brick wall was a building with a sign reading "College" at the top of it.
Shawn and I felt that brick wall two years ago and though we went into the building with high hopes, it seems like a never ending process and more like an obstacle course dividing us from now and life. I like college and appreciate my education, but I am so burnt out! I want to open my day care and start my life. I feel like this is never going to end, even with the end in my sights and almost in my grasp. Even after I graduate next year Shawn still has at least a year because he is double majoring. I just want his graduation date to be here. That's the starting line of "real life" that I see. We will buy our house and start a family after he graduates and we both have our careers in order. It just takes so long and today, I am feeling impatient. So I wanted to have a venting spiel on how much I hate college today. The end.
