Three years at Jewell are almost over. The best three years of my life thus far. My final year at this beautiful place is planned out to the credit hour, extracurricular activities, and when to apply for future endeavors.
It's surreal, this feeling of organization and plan because I am one of the few that loves and braces change. As one of my very good friends said to me recently, "You're all about change!" While I do not know exactly what I will be doing after graduation, I do know that I'm taking a year off to explore the world around me. This has been a difficult decision for me to make because my fellow pre-med Jewellians will all be heading to Medical School in Fall 2013 while I will be ever learning. Seemingly, left behind.
With my year off, I want to travel, be pushed outside of my comfort zone every day. I want to partake in scientific research. I want to watch some surgeries. I want to love on the people around me. I want to "study abroad" if you will. Throughout my college years I have always been slightly jealous of my peers who have had the opportunity to study abroad but I know in my heart of hearts my place has always been at Jewell. There has always been work for me on this campus and I know I made the right decision by staying in the states.
More than anything, I am excited for the opportunities on the road ahead.
Here's to the last month of my third year at Jewell and summer waiting soon after.
