Oh and something else I have yet to do

I haven’t posted this anywhere on social media, but I got into grad school and I’m officially going to PAU to get my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology.

I’m super excited yet extremely nervous because I won’t really know anyone in the Bay Area and its me truly going to live some place on my own with no one I know.

The transition from high school to undergrad was a bit easier because I knew some people from my high school (regardless if I liked them or not) and I had family in the area… But now, I have no one and I’ll be even further away from my family… Not to mention the incredible debt I’ll be getting myself into.

I think I haven’t posted this news anywhere else because it seems unreal. If you asked me 5 years ago, I’d hope for this but I didn’t really think I’d make it the first go around.

With graduation officially less than two weeks away, I’m also realizing how comfortable I’ve become here. I unfortunately hit my stride later than I would’ve liked, and while most of my friends I feel like I’ve known forever, many of them (minus the ones from high school and the first friends I ever met in undergrad) I’ve only known them for two years tops maybe even only one. And I’m sad I won’t get to spend more time with them. Right now it’s so easy because we’re all a five minute drive from each other if that… Soon we’ll be all over the country and I don’t know how I’ll get through it.

I know I will. My mantra for the past few years with all the mess in my life has been “keep moving forward” (thanks Disney & Meet the Robinsons), and it’s worked. So I know I’ll come out on the other side, but not without missing all my friends (college & high school, well the two most important from high school).

Not only that but I’ll miss my professors that I’ve grown close to. I know, I know, major nerd alert here. But they’ve helped me get through a lot without even really realizing it and are a major reason why I’m able to go onto grad school. They’ve become like family, like my friends have. Especially during times when some of my biological/legal family was hard to love.

Thanks for reading.

P.S. That rambling though necessary for me, wouldn’t have gone on here had I not been too lazy to get out of bed and get my journal. So thanks laziness.
