Us humans are pretty adaptable. We learn new things and adjust ourselves to them fairly quickly and without problems.
When we graduate high school and are scared of college, we overcome our fears and get out and meet new people and learn how to self-motivate.
When we graduate college we have to decide what path to take, and quickly assume new responsibilities.
We do these things, some with more grace than others, but that does not necessarily make them easy.
It's never "easy" to leave your comfort zone. But if there's one thing I've learned over the past few years is that you are never allowed to stay in your comfort zone for long. As soon as something becomes routine or normal, it gets mixed up.
Whether its professors with ridiculous expectations... living on your own for the first time.. or the last hug goodbye before your boyfriend moves 2 hours away for school.
These things are NEVER easy. But you adapt, and you grow stronger. If nothing else, you will have thick skin and can say "I remember when I thought *this* was going to defeat me, but it didn't."
So here's to responsibilities and changes, and other things that have not and will not get the best of me.
