Preparing For My Final Semester In College

I’m in my feels as I’m writing this blog post. As I prepare for my final semester in college, I can’t help but think about everything that has led to these upcoming months.

Going into high school I was so excited for college. I had dreams of going to college in New York. I wanted to be an editor in the publishing industry since I was fourteen. My dream was to move away from home and never come back. Of course I would visit my family and friends. I just didn’t want to live in Miami anymore.

I was giddy with excitement when senior year rolled around. Finally, I was taking the leap into independence with moving away for college. The thought of being on my own was like a breath of fresh air. Mind you, I loved my parents and family, I just had this vision in my head of starting my life once I left home.

Now, I see myself in an identical situation. I’m at the brink of a new phase in my life but the emotions swirling inside of me are completely opposite as the previous ones. I’m anxious, scared and, quite frankly, straight-up stressed. I still want to be an editor, seeing an author’s ideas take shape and come to fruition. But now there is more to that vision.

I crave the hope of being an established author myself one day. I have always had ideas whirling in my head. Some I have been, unknowingly, elaborating and pulling apart, falling into place in the form of a story. I also started Kat’s Corner. I want to keep it up, altering directions sa my life changes, taking you guys along for the ride.

My future now consists of all these different facets. It seems overwhelming if I focus too much on the overall landscape rather than individual pieces. The one thing that gets me through the moments of panic and stress is the knowledge that I am following my passions. None of these paths that I choosing to follow are unwanted.

I go into my final semester of college knowing that I wouldn’t change these next few months for anything else. I am where I’m supposed to be.
