Those Summer Nights Are Flying By

I hope this blog post finds everyone happy and healthy in their parts of the world. These hot summer days have been filled with so much fun but where are they going? and why are they going so fast? I can't believe that its already almost August which means starting my senior of college (yeah you heard right, I am almost done! eek!). I am nervous about what this whole year will be about but really excited because I know that it will be another adventure for me. This is the year when I need to figure out what I want to do with my life and why I want to do it (suggestions are always welcome....haha). I am starting to get my stuff together and apply for internships, volunteer programs, etc pretty much anything that can get my foot in the door. These days I have been hearing the phrase "Its not about what you know, its about who you know", but what if you don't know anyone? The people I talk to have all received their jobs by mere flukes (right place, right time) and so its makes me slightly anxious about what the future will hold for me.....

I can't lie, my mind is drifting across the pond more and more these days and when I went to the internship office today I picked up some 'working abroad' information sheets. I never thought I would have been able to do something like that, but Ireland changed my outlook on my options and how I can make them a reality. The itch to travel has been unscratchable this past summer, but it always gets a painful slap when financing these excursions comes into play....haha

Being a senior is a scary time but also a time of learning about yourself and what you truly want in life. I can't ask mom and dad to choose something for me or give the magic eight ball a whirl, its time to search way deep down and decide what is best for Abby. Harder than it sounds but I am always up for a good challenge.

Nothing extragavant happening my life right now, heading to Gooseberry Falls tomorrow with a couple of my girlfriends for a 'get-away-from-reality' trip. Good life lesson: always find time to escape the things you have to do in order to find time for the things you want to do. So I'm off for adventures, laughs, and some good ol' fresh northern air! Sending hugs and love your way!
