Another Year Gone By

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Well today (or really yesterday) I had my last final of my junior year, which more or less makes me a Senior in college, under the assumption I passed all of my classes. I’m pretty sure I did. I could talk about the events of the year, as I have done in previous ‘end of the year’ posts, but I think this post bears something different. I am going to be a Senior in college. That kind of scares the shit out of me. More so because I have found a job. One I will start this summer and work during the school year, and then, if all goes well, will turn into a Full time job after school.

At the end of my senior year of High School, I titled a post “I guess this is growing up” (I was big into song title titles) and I talked about the whole moving on/growing up thing. I guess I could be jumping the gun with a whole growing up speech, or another one- but I don’t think so. I am feeling very anxious. I have a full time REAL job. This is going to be my last summer vacation. It feels a little strange. Plus, next week, during Senior Week, I will say good bye to all of my senior friends. A lot of them really did help me through out the year, and I will be sad to see them go. I also know that I will now be in their position and hope I can fill their shoes. I will do my best in any case.

As a junior, I learned a lot about people, living in your own house, and my business. I have seen it grow into something maybe even more successful than I thought it would be at this point. I am relieved that the school year is over so I can relax from school for a little, but know as a Sole Proprietor, there is no rest from the business. I also know I will have a great experience this summer working what I will consider my first real developer position. And I look to my senior year with excitement and apprehension. But maybe right now, I should go to bed and worry about next year, well, next year. Later

    Are creators (and anyone who doesn’t contribute to WordPress) free riders?
