"Aren't you excited?"
It's a phrase uttered from a dozen or so people since I was offered a job at the Carroll County Times. And while I know the answer should be "YES!", it's not -- at least not yet.
Because in knowing I will soon leave Penn State, I've been taking more stock of the things I will miss about it. The simplest things, including going out for dinner and coffee with a friend or drinks at Mad Mex. Old Main ringing out "Hail to the Lion" on my way to class. Waving to friends I pass by while walking ... well, anywhere.
I know I will be excited for my job after graduation. And I am so blessed to have found one. There are so many of my friends who are still searching, but probably even more deserving of a job than me.
But I want to take it one day and one moment at a time.
When I leave and know that I can't go back, only forward, then I'll be excited for all that lies ahead.
