Approaching Responsibilities

I survived my finals! YES!  It was a rough week for sure, but I was able to get through the week with limited sleep, tons of studying, lots of stress, and at the end of the week I was able to celebrate with all of my friends :)  We attended a fancy dinner at a restaurant in the town nearby.  It was so much fun to dress up even though the couple next to us thought we were only graduates of the local high school :(  Do we really look that young...(while drinking a glass of wine)...?  Afterwards we ended the the night with a party to celebrate our upcoming graduation with all of our friends.  I have to say that it was such a good night getting to talk to everyone before we all part at graduation. 
I'll be sad to move out of our apartment though.  Its been such a wonderful year here.  I've become so comfortable living here and with the opportunity to talk to my roommates whenever possible.  Its been comfortable going to class daily and working on homework with spare time on the weekends.  Its going to be sad wednesday morning when we all hang out for one last breakfast together before officially moving out :(  And I know some tears will be shed at that point as well as at graduation.  It just feels like it was only yesterday that my parents dropped me off at Linden--I was scared and part of me wanted to go back home with them.  And yet today I can only say that I feel the opposite.
It's sad to think that everything is actually coming to an end soon.  I'm nervous, excited, and worried.  I'm worried that I'm going home to the lack of friends, fun, and excitement.  I'm worried that I won't see any of my friends from school.  I'm excited for a new chapter though.  I'm excited for a change in life--a new job, new atmosphere, and new daily life.  I'm nervous for all of the new things to come.  I have tons of goals, though.  I'm determined to find my passion in science in my future career.  I'm determined to get rid of my stressed eating weight.  I'm determined to find some new friends from home that are looking for fun.  I'm excited to see where this road leads me.  It will be an adventure and I think I'm ready for it :)
