Here already.

It's the day of graduation. Well, actually very early morning of. I'll be getting my undergraduate degree in Business from Sacred Heart University. For some reason, I'm just not as excited about it as I thought I would be. There are plenty of people felling the same way, I'm sure. That large part of us that says no to the nagging call of the real world. The past four years as an undergraduate have been amazing and it is sad they are coming to an end so quickly. But as the saying goes, all good things come to an end at some point. Stepping away from the morbid side of that sentence, the ending of those good things almost always lead to something that can often be better. Looking back on everything now, of course I don't want it to end. At the same time, however, I remember feeling somewhat of the same thing at my high school graduation. I didn't even realize how much I wasn't experiencing until I took the next few steps into college. Life can be a pretty complicated and confusing thing. I guess figuring it out is really what our life is made up firm. I'm sure everyone has heard the saying: "It's no the journey, it's the destination." Well, I disagree. Yes I believe the destination is crucial. We need to have some sort of goal to lead our lives. But to me, the journey is just as important. Taking that journey can alter what you really want the destination to be. The journey is what allows a person to discover their own capabilities and strength, and that is incredible.
