Today (well technically tomorrow, on May 8th) marks the one year anniversary of my graduation from college! Five wonderful, challenging, life-changing years of my life. I hold so many dear memories in my heart from those special years; and many more have probably already been forgotten.
Looking through old photos and reading old journal entries from during that time period bring a smile to my face. I relive the drama and excitement that each year held. More than anything, the many life lessons I learned and the dear friendships that were formed will be treasured for the rest of my life.
People say that your college years are the best years of your life. I agree that they are wonderful, unforgettable times, but deep down I hope they are not the best years. That would mean that at the age of 22, I had nothing better to look forward to!
I will remember; I will laugh and maybe occasionally shed a tear over the sweet and sometimes even painful memories from those five years. But I firmly believe that my God has something great in store for the years to come.
The best years are not over; life does not end at college graduation, it merely takes on a new dimension. God's work is not finished...and I am excited to watch His plans unfold.

I believe someone said...the best is yet to come and I find that statement so true....as we learn and grow our best years are before us. I think college is just such a special time because you learn and grow and settle in to YOU. Plus...you make amazing friends...some that are life long. :) That's my perspective as a girl 5 years out from her college experience. Oh and the first year? It was definitely the hardest. The years now are just getting sweeter and sweeter :)
