Spring is blossoming in Kentucky and school is almost out for spring semester. I will soon be an upperclassman. I’m going to Oxford England next semester to study abroad. I have so many promises and ideas for the future that it is hard sometimes to just sit back, relax, and bask in the sunlight of today. I’ve never felt this much change in my life, and I would be lying if I said it wasn’t daunting. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. I’m starting to think about life after college. The promise of adventure is on the wind, but so is the promise of hard work and hardship. If we think about it too long, we will go crazy, worried about everything that has to be done even in the next two months. Sometimes all that can be done or should be done is to take each day one hour at a time. Live in the moment. Embrace the possibilities. And don’t worry about the future. I’m talking to myself as much as I am talking to you. I know it’s cliché but, take the time to smell the roses. It’s worth it. In spring, I always get new ideas for books and writing. My writer’s block has finally left, and I am so excited to write again. Ideas for poems and novels keep popping up in my head whenever I walk anywhere. It is very true that spring brings new life. If you just remember to look at the little things, stay positive, and trust God, you can get through the changes life has in store for you.
