Everyone tells you to "live it up" your last year of college, but how can you? Reality is setting in each day. With every day that passes you realize you are one step closer to growing up and stepping into the real world. I Do Not want to grow up. In an attempt to "live it up", I have decided to make a list of all the things I would like to accomplish before I become a grown up! I think my senior year is going to be all about stepping outside of my shell and trying as many new things as I can. This week started the first "crack" in my shell, so to speak. My roommate talked me into signing up for racquetball. Me... the most uncoordinated person in the entire world. My lack of hand and eye coordination is the reason I quit soccer and basketball to pursue cross-country and track. Doing something I would not normally do gives me knots in my stomach. But after two classes, (and hardly any bruises!) I am already feeling like there might be something more to this whole "stepping out of your shell" deal...

Senior year, here I come.
