The Past

Since I had graduated from college I have been thinking more and more about the past. I know you shouldn't dwell on the past but I believe the past is a great learning tool for the present and the future. If it weren't for the people from my past, I would not be who I am today. There are days I wish I could go back into time and relive those memories of me hanging with my friends, playing sports and all the random weird things I did with my family. I really miss my animals who have passed away since then, especially my dog Mickey.
If I had the chance to go back, I probably would have changed some of the decisions I had made. I even probably would have gone to a different college. However, like I mentioned above, I wouldn't be who I am today, I wouldn't have those memories, pictures, friends, learned lessons and the opportunities that have been given to me.
It's funny how plans change. When I enrolled into WSU, I had the intention of majoring in Geology and was going to walk on and try out for the women's soccer team. I joined the club softball team and changed my major to Sport Management. I was suppose to do that.
I wanted to be married by 24-25 and I really don't think that's going to happen since that is this year. I am not the type of person who rushes into things without thinking, unlike a certain person I know, we won't mention names...and I don't go out looking for anything, if it's going to happen it will find me.
I've never really been a fan of change either. A lot has changed since I have graduated high school. I always thought that high school would never end and we would stay in this constant routine. The routine ended when I went to college. I then got into the college life routine and loved it. I never wanted it to end. Then one day it did and now I am in the "real world" routine and I hate it. There are no more boundaries. Life is what you make of it up to this point. If I have learned anything the past six years it is this, you learn to adapt to your new routine. Maybe someday I will grow to love the "real world" routine. We'll see.
