Time Flies

It’s crazy to see the little changes I see in myself. I no longer leave huge clumps of clothing on the floor or leave my bed all messed up. After just being here for 3 weeks, I’ve become extremely organized and aware that my 12 by 4 room is now my home. I’ve officially decided that Friday mornings are my time to vacuum, do laundry and take care of any other chores. Living on my own has made me even more independent and it scares me because in a way it means I’m growing up. One thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that my mother has been calling me 3 times a day since she dropped me off. And recently I’ve been getting a little annoyed when she constantly asks me “what’s up” or “what’s new in life” when she just called me a couple of hours ago. I love my mom to death but I wish she would understand that I’m growing up and that she needs to let go a little. I’ve dealt with this my whole life…having an overly protective mother who wants to be included in everything. Before leaving for college she’d joke around about moving in to the Virginia Tech Inn permanently…that was no joke to me! Another scary things is the fact that I will be turning 19 in a few months. How did that happen? I remember turning 18 and feeling so grown up and scared knowing I was no longer a child. Life feels like it’s just moving forward, relentlessly dragging me along for the ride. I want to make sure the next 4 years of my life will be memorable and not easily forgotten.
