Graduation

I graduate from college on May 10th.  This Saturday.

As much as I am excited, I'm scared.  I'm more scared than I think I've ever been.  It's a real, tangible fear.  Not like being afraid of ghosts or monsters.  What will happen?  Where will I end up?  The world is so great and booming; always moving.  Where do I belong?

I want to be happy and successful in whatever I choose to pursue as a career.  I want to do something great, leave my name somehow.  I don't want to be forgotten.  I'm only 22 (23 on the 13th) and I have to constantly remind myself that I have so much time left.  I just need to stop feeling like the walls are closing in when there's no way in hell that they are.
