I saw the light...

...as I left work today. It was so different, leaving when there was still light. It was surprisingly refreshing.

I was thinking about what I have to look forward to now in life. In school it was always about getting to the weekend, getting to spring break, getting to winter break, getting to the summer, and getting back to school. And now? My one week of vacation some week this year and the weekends. So different, so routine. I don't have as many friends close by anymore either, they're either still at college, moved back to their own state they grew up in, or just moved. What does this mean to me? More time for self-improvement, more to look forward to on the weekend, and new people to meet and bring into my life. A friend once gave me some great advice as I was leaving college. He told me that we could stay here (college) for the next ten years and be happy, but our time had come to move on and plunge into adult life, and that it will be truly scary, but exciting. It's something I inherently knew but to hear him tell me this was quite moving, and I'm glad I got to hear it from him.
