swim nemo. swim.

a year ago i was a big fish in a little pond. 

high school.

now, i'm getting thrown into what feels an awful lot like a shark tank. 

college. 

with grad students, married people and rm's desperate to tie the knot.

but then you realize

you find out who you are and what you're made of. 

this is the part we all thought we couldn't wait to get to.

"post-graduation" 

but the more i think about it, i can sum it up into two feelings.

1) excitement like none other. college man:) 

2) i'm so scared that if they called me and told me i owed them another year of high school i'd run to mountain view. then kill myself. 

but mostly, i'm super excited. i mean, i'm growing up. it's for reals. 

for the past 12 years, i've been DYING to know what this really is like..

and here i am..scared out of my mind..

so much, that i almost wanna 

to just about anywhere really. 

maybe hawaii..

or italy.

new york.

somewhere where i can spend all day in a bikini and pretend it's forever july.

and then something clicks..

and you remember to take a deep breath because everything is gonna be okay.

i mean, if nemo can be taken away from his poppa and come back alive; i can survive college.
