Something or Another about Crossroads

Since its been about 3 years since high school graduation, I had a lot of fun reflecting with my friend Beth as we rode home following a poor Pirates baseball game, but excellent fireworks show today.

I don’t think I would change much about high school. There were periods where I wish my general attitude was a little different, but I am pretty proud of the things I accomplished and decisions I made in high school. Although, given another opportunity I probably would have rapped Beastie Boys at the senior salute.

I’m not sure I would change much about college, either. I do often ask: Would I have chosen Penn State again? I’m not sure. Academically, I doubt there was a better fit. Having been away from Pittsburgh as much as I have, I definitely wish I was local. But I’m starting to find my way socially at Penn State now that I’ve turned 21.

To be clear, I am definitely ready for the next step in my life, part of the reason I am graduating in December. Whatever that ends up being.

I’m exciting and anxious about my upcoming internship in New York City. This is the first time I will truly be living in a city after spending my time here in the north hills of Pittsburgh and at Penn State. Certainly, this is not just any city - it’s New York freakin’ City.

And though it will undoubtedly run the gamut of my emotions, it’s going to be great. Stay tuned.
