It Finally Happened

takethisforexampleI guess I was due to get Covid at some point. I came down with something a couple days ago and took a rapid test, sure enough, it was positive. The last 72 hours or so have been... uncomfortable to say the least. Especially since it's exam week. But I have the time to write, and since things are winding down with school and all I thought I'd do a larger life update.
I'm nearly done with my first year of college, and that feels insane considering I thought I'd drop out. I think of all that I've done and all that has changed about me since the beginning of the academic year and honestly, I feel like a completely different person. I really mean it. I must be completely unrecognizable.
As I wrote back in September:
"I'm excited to make new friends and memories. One thing I love about myself is that I'm always changing and I'm looking forward to seeing what college does to me. As long as I can keep up with my classes, I think I'll be alright. Everything else is just a cakewalk to me."
University has helped me learn a lot about myself, and has also given me an opportunity to take charge of not just my education but myself in general. I came out of high school with a pretty grim perspective on my future since I barely scraped by. Thinking back to what I was learning in high school, it's strange because I distinctly remember being disinterested and totally unengaged in subjects that I now learn about in my free time, just because. Old me didn't want to learn about much. Now I have tapped into all these different subjects and hobbies and I feel better than ever. It's a bit sad I guess because I wonder what the current me would've been like in that setting. I think about all the teachers I disappointed and while that isn't something that really weighs on me until I think about it, I would like to go back to MCST before the year ends and update some of my teachers who definitely knew I was tweaking in class. I have overcome a lot since that, and grown as a person. Nine months ago, I was pretty nervous about all of this. Since then, everything has gone up. I watched five seasons of Glee, adopted a cat, met someone that I love, gone to so many places, met so many people, saw so many shows... it was everything I needed.
So I can't really be that mad about being in bed with Covid right now, even though I wouldn't stop bitching about it yesterday. I'm quite happy, actually. Once my exams are totally over (May 3rd is the last day of the semester) I'll surely celebrate. Maybe jointly with Corey since that's his birthday. And then, life will be a dream this summer, with so many new adventures to be had and avenues of life to embrace. Once I get over this case of the sniffles, I'll be getting right to it.
