Run bunny, RUN!

It's going to be the fastest 50 days of my life.

I remember, when I was little, I would always do countdowns. Be it the 100 days before Christmas, or the 2 years before my cousin's wedding, or even the last 15 minutes of my literature class, I count and it has always been so slow.

But anticipating my graduation feels like a motocross at 60 miles per hour. I started with 100 days and now I'm down to no more than 50. Time is all that I have and I'm beginning to feel like I'm running out of it.

When I first entered the University, as a freshman, I said I cannot wait to finish school and work (not realizing I would have to plan everything once I get out of the gates.) I have all the uncertainties of being a newbie in a big university, not sure if I'll be able to run and finish the bunny race. 

I can see the finish line now, almost. But I'm not I'm ready to face whatever is across the yellow tape. I've heard so many stories about crossing over. Many say it is not ideal. It is very different from what someone expects while still in school. I was advised to be ready for disappointments for outside is a dog-eat-dog world.

I have to admit I'm scared. I cannot believe I'm back to the feeling of a newbie who is about to enter a bigger world beyond a university. I look back though, and realize all the lessons I learned, all the friends I made, all the fun-times I had. Even the long hours at the library, endless quizzes, and terror professors contribute to everything I have now. 

Apprehensive-yes I am. But I am looking forward meeting new people, learning new things, getting wiser, growing up. I guess, after this race is just another marathon, another trophy to be taken home by the bunny.
