“He nods, as if to acknowledge that endings are almost always a little sad, even when there is something to look forward to on the other side.” – Emily Griffin
Direction in life is something that everybody wants to know ahead of time so that way they can plan accordingly. I’m a planner and I always have been. Just the thought of the future terrifies me, but I’m slowly learning to find excitement in it.
School has always been my thing. I love learning and strangely find comfort in studying. But that safe chapter in my life is coming to an end, and it’s time to read the next. If I regret anything, it is that I did not enjoy my present as much as I could have. Instead, I focused too much on my future and for what? It still hit me just as much as it would have if I didn’t. Overthinking kills happiness.
My journey is a bit different from others at TAMUK. I transferred here against my will after my freshman year from another university.
Despite my reluctance, I soon realized the benefits of TAMUK are bountiful and endless. The small size of the university and its departments encouraged me to get involved quickly and earn a position within my organization even quicker. This in turn led me to wonderful opportunities and memorable experiences.
Thank you, Morris, for always picking our brains and holding us up to our fullest potential (also your killer outfits never go unnoticed). Thank you, Mrs. Patsy, for keeping our heads on track and our stomachs fed.
To The South Texan, each of you have an incredible amount of creativity. Never stop learning and growing in your talent. KTAI, we had a short run, but I am so grateful to have tried something new with the little time that I had left.
The end is expected to bring a tear, maybe two, okay maybe an entire breakdown, but the possibilities moving forward are endless.
No matter where life takes us, everything will work out the way it is supposed to.
There is beauty in the unknown and beauty in the experience. I’m glad I have both.
