Countdown to Cancun: 8 days
2 rounds down, 1 to go.
I seriously can’t believe I am at this point in my college career. Still seems like yesterday that I drove my car into USC and moved into Parkside dorms, met my first roommate, smiled at my eventual first (serious) GF, took my first class, ate my first dining hall meal…all these firsts to a, then, new phase of my life.
I can most definitely say it has been an amazing ride and I have grown so much as an individual. To my friends, GF, and mother: you have all been such a big part of my life and provide me undying inspiration; I am grateful for our relationship and for our amazing experiences.
I also know that despite the outcome of my final round of interviews with Nestle that I have made major progress during my four years. I have been honest with myself and have never allowed labels, or the past, define me. I will continue to live out each day passionately, continue to pursue my grandest dreams, and do my part to improve the world around me.

As for happiness, I have recently reshaped my understanding of it; to achieve happiness you must not seek to achieve IT, but rather take part in activities that bring joy, laughter and energy into your life. It is a simple formula too many of us fail to enact.
My next chapter starts today, fresh and full of possibilities, as it will each day to come.
Spring Break 2010…and my final spring break as a college student.
