As I sit in the library at my school, I look around and wonder what I will miss out on during the next semester. Spring formal, recruitment, long nights in Belk, bowling intramurals, late nights at Little Gray, random Cook-out runs and hiking adventures. I, unfortunately, have the common fear of missing out on things. I hate not being right where the action is and I always want to be included in what is going on. Maybe this is why I am going into a field surrounded by breaking news and constant communication?
Yet even though I will miss out on things at Elon, I know that I will experience SO much more than I could ever imagine possible. Instead of all the little things that go on here at school, I will be experiencing new friends, interesting classes, late nights in Keops (my dorm) with Emily, train rides to Amsterdam, learning how to cook, traveling around Europe, hiking trips to Sweden and biking trips to Bornholm and so, so much more. I have much to look forward to and I am getting very excited for this great adventure!
The past two days at Elon have been perfect. I've gotten to spend one-on-one time with some great friends that I will miss dearly. Yet every single one of them has encouraged me to "have a wonderful time and live it up!" I hope I can do just that.
4 more days and I am ready to "live it up." Time to say goodbye to Elon for a while.
