Time Flies....

So, recently I've been thinking about how quickly time goes by. People always say to "take advantage of this time in your life because it'll be gone before you know it." Well, I'm starting to realize that those are very true words of wisdom. I am halfway done with college already and it still feels like I'm in high school sometimes. College is one of those things you look up to all of your teen years. Should I go to college? Which college should I go to? What should I major in? How am I going to live on my own, without my parents? All of these questions run through your mind, and it feels like it's never going to come, and then you look now and realize that you've already been in college for 2 years and that you'll be done and out of college in just 2 MORE years. And if that time comes as fast as the past 2 years have gone, you're basically already done with college! Wow. Right now in my life, I can't wait to get married and be a mom. And then that time will come and go and I won't be able to wait for my kids to go off to college so that my husband and I can be alone again and just grow old together and then be grandparents. It all seems so far off, but right now, thinking back to elementary school, it feels like it was 5 years ago. So if that's the case, where I will be in five more years? I'll be a 40 year old mom with 4 kids and wrinkles forming all over my face. It all just blows my mind. I tend to be very impatient about the future, but I need to realize that it will all come in time and probably too fast, and then everything that I looked forward to will be in the past and I won't even notice it was there because I was too busy focusing on the future.
