Bittersweet Kind of Life

Hello followers (I think I have one, so what up Kirbs)!

The past few days have been really bittersweet for me. I find myself trying to stop time because I don't want to graduate, but at the same time I get so excited envisioning the next stage of my life. I feel like many seniors can sympathize with me about this, I just wish there was a remedy.

In all honesty, if I could move back into Callaway House and start this crazy adventure all over again, I really think I would. I have had the best 4 years of my life. Sometimes I think my life is a dream because the blessings I have been given in friends, experiences, lessons, and love have been just unreal throughout college. I am terrified to leave this College Station bubble that I live in (that in itself is a fairy tale) but I have hope that the next stage of my life can be even better. A lot of people say that life after college is only down hill but I am determined to disprove that. The Lord has incredible things in store for all of us and we are in charge of making the most of it.

While I am not at liberty to divulge much about my future at this time, I am really very excited about it. I think if all of us look at life after college as one big adventure, it can be a lot more enjoyable that we think. The past three weeks have been exceptionally enjoyable and rich in memories. I anticipate that this is what my remaining 6 weeks of school will look like.

I have been working on a "gadget" slide show for the side of my blog for about an hour and now I can't get it to post using Picasa Web Albums. Bummer. But stay tuned for that in the next few days- hopefully I'll figure it out! These are some of my favorite college memories so enjoy!

Help me freeze frame time in these last few weeks. Let's make it count, people. Starting with tonight. What are we doing? Can't wait!

New to Blogging

Hello Blogosphere! I imagine anyone reading this right now is someone close to me or someone with way too much time on their hands. I have decided to join the ranks of the bloggers because I just have this hunch that my life post-college is sure to be thrilling, comical, and down-right entertaining. Now, in a few months I very well could be revoking this statement but we'll just see how this all pans out. I also feel that after becoming a mature 22 year old (birthday week has just ended) that a blog is now the most exciting aspect of my life. (I'm really bummed to not be 21 anymore).

Let's talk about the title of my blog. I was informed this morning that "Are you kidding me?" is a phrase I use quite often in daily discourse. This was at first offensive but then I found it to be quite a charming name for a blog. I have many "are you kidding me?" moments in my life and I am excited to share them with you here.

Now for the sub title: don't be confused. I haven't actually graduated yet. But in 2 short months (depressing, I know) I will be in the post-college realm, and let's face it- lots of you think (accurately or not) that I'm a drama queen.

So it is here that I will post stories. I will also post things that I like. I will also talk about my friends. a. lot. Lucky for you: they are pretty cool peeps.

I apologize in advance for being a n00b at this whole thing but my blog will be awesome in no time, I assure you.

Bye for now.
