Reflecting Back on the Semester

I know that the semester isn't quite over yet, that I still have to suffer through exams. But I feel like I have reached a major milestone in my life right now.

The first semester has flown by, I will be returning home for the first time, and now I can look back and realize how much I have grown as an individual: Intellectually, Socially, Spiritually.

To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.
-Kurt Vonnegut.

I've come to realize that life shouldn't be about proving yourself to others, but proving yourself to yourself. For so long I have been ignorant to this idea, and it is unbelievable how much easier life is now. I'm so content with where I am, who I've become and what I can be. I only hope that I can continue in this upward direction throughout my time here at this university.

Now it's time to pack up, ship out, and eat some turkey.
