Growing Pains

I'm on break from school. OH MAN, was this break needed. Nursing school is the most intense program I've ever been in- and it's only going to get harder. My first clinical rotation will be on an oncology/telemetry floor. I'm really excited to utilize the skills we've learned, but also nervous to be around patients with cancer because it hits so close to home.
It's been really hard being in a new town, alone. I've been having these realizations left and right. As much as I am a "strong" and "independent" woman, these rapid changes I've been going through is constantly sparking this awful anxiety in me. But at the same time, I can just bounce back and be normal (thankfully!). As my sister wrote in my birthday card, "This is my year of growth." She hit the nail on the head. I knew it the second I decided to go to Villanova for nursing school.
Also, I'm dating someone. They are really cute. They have brown hair, brown eyes, and dresses very dapper.
Wanna know who it is?
ME.
I'm dating myself. My friend suggested to do this. I am all about hanging out with myself. Doing things with me. Of course I like the company of others, but this year is about spending time with ME.
