Ok, so maybe it won't be that way
I have come to the conclusion that I won't be saving the world, at least not the way that every parent wants their child to do. Or how my friends in my classes will. I won't be saving lives in a hospital, I won't be discovering the cure for cancer, and really, that sits really well with me. If you can't tell, the semester is about to end, and the number one thing people have been asking me this semester, "What does your future hold?" In all actuality, I somewhat know, but it just scares me. It is crossing that bridge into adulthood. College is fake, I don't worry about rent or bills, I just worry about my grades and what have I forgotten to do for the Frisbee team. But next year, I will be living in my first apartment, maybe? And where will this apartment be? That is quite yet to be determined.
"If you move all they way to the pacific northwest, how will I ever visit you?" Coming to Valpo was hard, but exciting. I didn't know anyone when I cam here freshman year, but quickly made friends, my freshman year is what everyone's freshman year should be, full of amazing friendships, heartbreaks, good professors, involvement in new things. Then sophomore year was everything the opposite of that. Now, almost four years after I started college, I am about to end it, and will I be saving lives? I think so, I just have to trust in what my path really is. So I will be saving lives, and I am pretty sure that none of it will have to do with Inorganic Chemistry. Weird.

i feel ya. college is pretty freakin' fake, and i for one am tired of it. i'm dying to get a real apartment, a real job, have real bills, have a credit score...everything. after a while you realize that, in all honestly, what you learn in college has nothing to do with actual grades or the knowledge you picked up...and once you realize you've gotten everything out of it that you're going to get...senioritis sets in!
this is a pretty amazing entry...you are a pretty amazing girl. love you.
