Change is good?

I've come to this point in my life, where things happen suddenly and I wonder if I made the right choice. Thankfully after enough reflection, I realize I may not have handled things in the best way, but I definitely have no regrets.

Life has been quite of an adventure since January in so many ways. School was kicking my ass, the love life was interesting enough, friends were made, others friends weren't seen to spend time in the library, and there were sad goodbyes.

The summer brought a lot of change. For the first time in my life I would not be returning home for the whole summer. Basically, if I follow the trend of the past 3 years, I will be away for 10 months. I have a new job, though I guess it's technically the same office, but still, new skills to learn like interviewing and giving tours, which has been awesome. I've gotten closer to some people, and bonded with my impromptu roommate Saki more than ever. I've been observant, only observant, because there is no more drama in my life. I've also taken to baking a lot, eating well and loving being in Oberlin.

But the change was somewhat difficult at first. It's always difficult to leave your comfort zone, lose friends, not go home, start a new job. I don't think anyone can say that it's easy to leave what is comfortable, but it's necessary. Sometimes we choose to do it as in the case of a new job, but sometimes it's involuntary as in the case of a friendship awkwardly ending.

As all the changes in my life stacked upon each other my mood changed drastically, from positive, to absolute dread, to enjoyment. I guess it just took a little getting used to and acceptance of my current situation and that it's not my fault. Always good to have positive feedback that it's not my fault (Thanks Tommy)

Sure there's part of me that wants to go back to the way things were, just cause it would make life easier at times, but the change was indeed good and I now welcome it.
