A state of limbo

I'm in a state of limbo right now as I have high school behind me and college ahead of me, and everything that I used to know is changing. Many of my friends I may never see again and some I've seen every other day since graduation. This summer has only just begun and it seems like it's almost over already. I've even had several friends go off to their colleges to begin summer sessions.

My summer has consisted of working as a sales rep for Hewlett Packard on weekends and coaching youth football camps. Aside from working, I've also had time to relax with a trip to Six Flags and the local lakes. For the rest of the summer, I'll attend a 60th wedding anniversary for my grandparents in Pennsylvania, which is awesome and a trip to Texas with my family that I'm really looking forward to.

I was recruited by Coach Frye to play football at Centre, so that's how I really got to know all about the college. I did my normal research on Centre (read over the website and checked to see how cute the girls were) and decided to give Centre a shot and went on an overnight visit/recruiting trip. I chose Centre when I was sitting in a large dorm room with about 16 other students, chatting and getting to know each other. This is when I came to realize that I was around others just like myself. Besides my own research, that trip convinced me that Centre the best fit, academically and socially.      

As August 12th rapidly approaches, I feel somewhat bittersweet. I'm more than excited about my new life at Centre and meeting new people, but at the same time I don't want to leave the comforts of Roswell, my home for the last 10 years. I know this all will change the minute I set foot on campus for the fall term, but I'm going to enjoy and soak up the last bit of home that I can.
