Head full of doubt, road full of promise

"...summer gathers up her robes of glory,
And, like a dream, glides away."
- Sarah Helen Whitman

I hope all of your summers were rejuvenating, I hope you got swept off your feet and made new memories, and finished all of those projects you've been putting off. I hope you embrace the next season with excitement and anticipation and I hope you avoid heartbreak and disappointment.

I finally made it.
Life has been moving a hundred miles a minute and I've been thrown into the chaos. Gone is the relaxing summer afternoons, gone is my old life, gone is everything I've ever known.

I embrace the freedom of living on my own. I no longer inhabit the life of a co-dependent high school student, belonging instead to the next stage of development in my education and in my life.
I finally made it. I am now a student of the University of Florida.

The feeling hasn't hit me yet...feeling homesick and nostalgia for my friends and family. But it will. I know it will. There are times when I will make mistakes and look stupid, there are times when I will feel lost and afraid, small and insignificant. There are times when I will miss my cat's soft fur and when I will long for the familiarity and comfort of my old bedroom.
But I'm ready.
There are good times ahead as well, I can feel it. There are friends I have yet to meet, experiences I have yet to experience, and memories I have yet to make.
I'm ready.

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts. I'm still trying to find a photogenic, yet inconspicuous, spot on campus to pose for pictures. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these pictures I've taken from my iPhone.
All of the below photos are unedited and raw, and I've taken them from random spots on campus and other places.
You never know when inspiration finds you.
