What are we running from?

The storm swept through like a raging bull, its apex only lasting about a half hour until the sun came shining through.

Fear of the unknown has an interesting way of seeping in too deep. What was a threatening downpour, matched with a show of lighting and rumble of thunder, became a metaphor of transition and change.

Graduation Enfatuation (Wow I love corn so much)

Its that time of year... the end of another year of college lyfe.

The seniors freak out for no apparent reason, the juniors realize they need to start making moves but don't, the sophomores think about how much parting they'll do when they all turn 21, and the freshman take a deep breath and move back into their parents house before moving into their first apartment, escaping the cesspool that was the dorms.

All of these things are great, but the reality of this moment is that it is an important period of change in a crucial time in our lives. We make friends, we lose friends. We learn about school, we learn about life. But the most important thing we learn is how to change.

Change is the only constant in life, and if you can learn to accept it and use it to your advantage then you will always be happy. Ok, maybe not always. But the hard times won't be so hard, and the good times will be the best of times.

So sit back, get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and enjoy the ride.
