My favorite season of the whole year is fall. I love the weather, the colors, football season, and hunting. I hadn't really noticed the appearance of the season until I came home this weeekend. I guess I had been to busy adjusting to my new college life, to feel the chill in the air, and see the leaves changing colors. But, when I returned home for fall break, I took a look around and realized I was missing my favorite of nature's transformations.
I have been so busy with school, new friends, keeping up with old friends and all , to stop and realize that this is my life now, and there is no reason to be in such a hurry.The other day I thought about how last fall, when I was a senior, how different my life was then. I was in a relationship, carefree about grades, and going to Ole Miss the following year. A year can change alot! My senior year flew by, packed full of memories and decisions, even a good heartbreak. But, here I am, a new season, just like the leaves change colors and prepare for winter; so do we, last year was preparation for what I would face this year. I went through a bitter breakup, so that I could have a full college experience. I made a bizarre college decision, so I would have the chance to go down my own path, and not follow my friends. I made alot of great memories as well, so when I look back at my highschool years a good feeling comes to mind.
I hope to see many more fall seasons. And, each time I do, to stop and reflect, and think about how I got where I am and what prepared me for it. I hope to slow down at MC, and feel more at home there in the coming weeks. This fall I am going to enjoy my SEC football, and while I am home at least, play in the woods with my family. Until then I can't wait to see where next fall finds me.

fall is a great season!i can see how you love it!
I know exactly what you are saying about senior year being so different from this year. It's so weird! Anyway, enjoy fall, it is so beautiful outside right now!
That's some really good reflections! I liked your entry a lot.
I bet while your were in the situation when your relationship was breaking it was awful for you. Interestingly, in retrospect, you judge this situation quite differently. That's realizing how God works in our life - and "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him" (Romans 8,28).
