Growing Up

Tomorrow I have to go back to school and really it seems like I have never left. I didn't get to spend much time with my family or friends and spent most of my break doing homework. I also realized that next time I come back, this house will no longer be my home. By the end of the semester I will have my own apartment, my own address, my own bills to pay. As excited as I am to embark on this next chapter of my life, I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready. I absolutely love Tennessee and my school but I hate being so far away. I feel like I miss out on a lot of things. Now I'll be permanently settled 600 miles away and miss a lot more things. I'll spend my first holiday (Easter) away from home, I'll miss birthdays, I'll miss get togethers with friends, I'll miss family cook outs. I know this is the right choice of me but it is going to be really hard leaving tomorrow, knowing things will never be quite the same again.
