And thus ends my career taking classes in college.
Yeah, just the classes part, for some odd reasons I still have internship hours left to finish but whatever, I'll be done with them by the middle of July and then I get to move on from Olivet for real.
But! I still get to walk on Saturday. Walk in that graduation ceremony where I will wear one of those funny hats and robes and look kinda strange but then get a fake diploma thing and bam, no more Olivet campus for me.
That being said... It is indeed a very bittersweet time for me. On one hand I get to leave this god-forsaken place; on the other, I have to leave my friends. The friends who I have come to love and cherish these past four years.
As I type I sit watching four of them play Battlefront II as they duke it out in galactic conquest. I find it both humorous and terrifying as the tension is high and the friendships between them hang in the balance.
It has been an odd four years for me. I came out as bi, pushed my way through college, and have developed some (well maybe one or two) great friendships.
There's more life still to come and talks about what is next has me excited and afraid.
We moved a lot of the stuff out of the apartment today and it now looks incredibly barren. After being so comfortable in it for the past eight months, it is very hard to see the place begin to fall apart. But life moves on. We all have our own things to do now. One of my roommates even moved into his own apartment today.
I will be moving back home to complete my internship. I will be working at the hospital like I have done for the past three summers. My bosses are excited to have me back and I am excited to be going back. They may be eliminating my position come August, so only time will tell if it becomes a long term thing or not.
I am going to apply for a job I desperately want in San Francisco. It is for the website Giant Bomb. It's a website about video games. I have probably talked about it before on this thing but ya never know. If you like video games and fun you should probably look it up.
Anyways, my time at Olivet is coming to a close. As I spend these last days reflecting and saying goodbye to friends I remember everything that has changed and some things that have remained the same. I look forward to growing even further now that I can get out of this hellish bubble.
Thanks as always for reading and for sticking with me through all of my years in school.
