Hidden Truths from Post Graduation

Published on

This time last year I was in a panic of wanting to finish my last few weeks of undergrad as successful as possible while, maintaining my sanity. I went into senior year with the hopes of a higher gpa and more opportunities to put onto my resume. Little did I know that senior year was filled with learning from the past years. Dealing with constant panic and anxiety attacks, migraines and slight hive breakouts from all of the stress...I couldn't believe that I made it. I came into my undergrad career scared of out my mind. I wasn't truly allowing myself to commit to Ball State because of a relationship, self doubt and being scared of the unknown. It wasn't until spring of my freshman year that I felt free. Free to just explore everything that college offered me. The next year I would learn more about balancing more friendships and responsibilities than anything. Junior was a pure hell. I went into it with a strong head and was knocked and rocked so much that I didn't know how bad I was doing and how I was hurting my friends. It took so much out of me that I can't even count how many times I balled to the Lord asking what is He doing to me? Why so many trials and tribulations? Little did I know that it took for Him to put me in so many scrutiny to understand what patience really meant and humility was all about.
