Decision day has come and gone, and we are officially onto the next chapter of our lives. Remember to not forget where you came from, while still looking forward to who you’ll become and enjoying the small things over the next few months. Whether you’re going to college, the workforce, or anything and everything, know that your hard work has paid off and you’re exactly where you need to be. If this series has taught me anything, it’s that I had no idea what I wanted when I started writing this. Life changes, you change, the world changes, and there’s nothing you can do about it but adapt. 

I was hoping to relay my ethos for all of you, giving you a reason to listen to me, but I don’t think I should have to. I’m just like you, confused about what I want to do and simply trying my best. Apply to whatever colleges you want, do whatever you think is best for you, and don’t forget to live life for yourself, rather than anyone else.
