That Just Right Feeling

You know that feeling when it just feels right?
Maybe that sounds absurd, ambiguous and well just down right strange because you've never felt that before. But after today, I have felt it, and its absolutely awesome.
Tonight I go to bed feeling happy, and greatful.

Let me explain.

You may or may not know this, but I've finished school a year early (and yes, my friends are all still in school and are probably asleep already because they have to get up at 6am to go to school tomorrow *instert a very devious face* while I on the other hand feel like sleeping in tomorrow *insert evil smirk* ;) ). So this year for me is my own kind of gap/adventure/learning and experiencing the real world year. I'll be taking courses in art, dance and psychology,  I'm hoping to travel a bit... the list goes on.

So basically, an alreadly long story short, today I went to register for my part time BA Psych (Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology) course at the university I have decided to attend (with the help of my parents... of course). I left with my mom early, its an hours drive from where I live, to the main campus. When we found a place to park I started freaking out, negative and daunting thoughts ran through my head

Can I do this?
The buildings so big...
There are so many people... and they all look so intimidating...

Eventually I thought that maybe I should just leech off my parents for the rest of my life and never leave the house, like a friend had joked to me that he was going to do. Feelings in my stomach, that I thought were reserved for public speaking and dancing eisteddfods, began to emerge.

But... it all changed when I walked into the campus building and the receptionist smiled so warmly, and so friendilyly (is that even a word???) It was so genuine, and trust me I know cause I analyse peoples faces and their actions to see if they're fake as a hobby. From then my nerves settled, and everyone was like the receptionist,  genuine,  friendly, smiling and helpful.  It took two hours to register, filling in forms, checking course times, tour of the library,  meeting new people... all in all it was a brilliant experience.  When I left, I felt like this was the right choice for me to make. It felt right, and I felt at home and like I belonged.

I know that there will be ups and downs on this road I'm taking this year, but I know that for now and for me this has been the right decision,  and I am going to learn and grow so much, after all, isn't that what life is about? Experiencing new ideas, concepts, tastes, cultures,  people... having fun, and always learning.
Well for me thats what I feel is a constructive way to fill ones time in this life...

Just enjoy it, because life is precious, and beautiful, and we only get one.
