So, I’m back from my evening festivities as a graduating
senior, and I’ve decided to write a little somethin’-somethin’ right now,
because I may not get this chance tomorrow.
Can I be honest with y’all? I have officially come to
grips with reality—I am a fickle little girl. Four years ago, when I first
arrived at Rust, I was kvetching about how I wanted to go back to L.A., or at
least transfer to USC after I completed my freshman year. Well, here it is,
four years later, and I’m kvetching again, but for a different reason: I just
realized that I am closer now than I’ve ever been, and I don’t wanna leave
Mississippi. Yes, I know that this was only temporary, but as y’all know, I’ve
made some great friends and I’ve got some great memories stored up in such a
short time. I can’t deny it any longer, y’all—Rust College has become such a
huge part of my life, and I am eternally grateful for every experience, both
academically and personally.
In addition to everything else, the scenarios have changed,
but my emotions are still the same—I am scared out of my mind, y’all!
Oh, sure—I’ve got a great future ahead of me, but what
scares me is the fact that I’m about to go to the next level. Once I receive my
Bachelor’s Degree tomorrow, it’s all over. No more dorm rooms, no more
assemblies, no more talent shows, no more evening runs at McNasty’s, and no
more kickin’ it with my peeps at our table in the cafeteria. When I return to Southern
Cali this Thursday, I won’t find another group of people like Theo, Ruby, Azalea,
and Craig. Everything will be different… well, even more so than it already is.
I tell y’all—just when I get out of one storm, here comes
another storm.
Well, this is it, y’all! For obvious reasons, you may not
be hearing from me tomorrow, but I guarantee that you’ll hear from me sometime
on Monday. In the meantime, please keep me lifted up in prayer—I’d really
appreciate it.
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
