Flext Me Baby


As a student and a member of Gen Y I am pressed for time. Phone calls are shorter and texts are longer which puts a strain on my so called love life. Luckily for me I am a member of Gen Y and I'm able to utilize every bit of technology there is, which I do.

For the past few weeks I've been heavily engaged in a new phenomenon called "flexting" - flirt texting. It's pretty basic and self explanatory and of course it's something we've all done for a while but this is the first time I've actually acknowledge it as a thing.

These past few months, flexting has been more present in my life because I have been so busy. For a while there I thought I was sacrificing my non-existent love life for my professorial life but now I can have them both.

Walking Around a Foreign Land

Today was my first day back at school. I've been in class since 10 am and now I am done. As I was walking back to my room I had this feeling of unfamiliarity, as if I was in a new school for the first time.

The campus seemed empty, the faces new and for the first time in four years I felt like an outsider. I don't believe this be a negative thing rather it demonstrates the end of a journey. I see it as a sign from God that my time is up here. I've done all that needed to be done and now I must pursue other goals.

While May seems far away I can tell already that the days will go quickly. I had my day and now it belongs to someone else. Don't cry for me Argentina, it's supposed to be this way. It's the cycle of life and it actually makes me feel like I accomplished someting which I can honestly say "I did".

I'm Not Done Yet

As a graduating senior I'm constantly asked whether or not I'm excited "to be done". My answer is "Yes, I'm almost there." However what I really want to say is "Please stop asking me that. I'm not done yet".

I understand that people are excited for me and want to share in the moment but the moment has not come yet. Today, I moved back into my dorm, tomorrow I start class and in four months I graduate. I am in no way excited about graduation just yet because when I stepped foot on campus I realized how much work still needed to be done.

When May 1st comes I will be over the moon because it will be 17 days before I get my diploma. Until then I would appreciate it if others wouldn't get excited before I have the chance to.

Working Vacation...The Dream Comes Alive

I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be on vacation. College is very serious and hard work; and even when I'm not at school there is still so much to be done. Very often I use my breaks (winter and summer) to make career and life decisions. The biggest decision I made was during the winter break of my sophmore year when I realized I wanted to go graduate school to get my Master's in Fine Arts.

Since then, I've made every possible move to ensure this and now time is catching up with me. Half of my applications have been sent out and the other half will be out by Monday morning.

I feel as though these past four years have prepared me to go into the workforce and get a great job but they haven't prepared me on to be happy. Each time I click "submit" or put postage on my grad school applications my heart pounds becacuse I know am finally going after something that I've wanted for so long.

This vacation is probably the best vacation I've ever had even though I'm working my butt off. This is because the end result is one that I've dreamed of and it's becoming a reality.
