One Night of Stars

Well, I have decided once again to try a journal. I am too impatient to write in an actual journal, so having my own space in the vastness of the internet seems to be the next best thing.

I chose the name "one night of stars" because I often stare up at the stars wishing and hoping. Therefore, it seems to make sense that my title be something somewhat romantic.

I am officially a graduate now of UCSB. I will never again call Isla Vista home. It is kind of sad, but exciting and scary at the same time. I am excited to be moving beyond that stage in my life, but sad that so many friendships will be dying. Then again, were they really friendships if moving across the country ended them so easily? Who knows. I find myself looking back on the past four years with mixed feelings. I wish I could say that it was all happy, but there were too many moments of sadness and frustration in there for that to be true. I can say though, that it was a learning experience, and that I would not change very much of what happened because there was so much good. All in all, college was more than I expected it to be, and therefore so much better than it could have been.

Looking forward though, I come to more questions than answers. I know that I will be going to Washington, DC for graduate school, but I do not know which school I will be attending, what masters degree I will be getting, where I will be living, who I will be living with, etc. I am excited though to be continuing my education. I know to some it seems like more school? But I can honestly say that I enjoy learning, especially when I know that it actually pertains to the world around us, and I do feel that my studies will fulfill this. Overall, I am truly excited, though a little scared as well. Then again, I suppose that is to be expected.

The one area in life in which I feel like I am lacking is the love life. This is because I don't have one. I don't know if it is me or just the guys I come into contact with. It is something I am going to try not to worry too much about though, because otherwise I will just become depressed. Sigh.

I suppose that is enough for now. So here is to a new journal and new journey's in the future.
