What's next?

I've recently began to wonder what's next for me? As my friends are graduating from college and moving out of the state I can't help but wonder how my life is going to change now that most of my friends won't be around Reno to enjoy my time left with me. It is going to be a challenge and a challenge that I am willing to accept though I don't want to at this time. I have gotten close with a group of friends that come Saturday morning, will ALL have been graduated and moving on with their lives. A few already have their degrees but the one I am closest too will be graduating come Saturday morning. It will be a bittersweet moment as I'll watch her graduate and than i will be stuck with the question "what's next?"

So for me, what is next? I will continue to go to school at UNR and I will continue to work at the student union on campus but it just won't be the same. With people leaving and new people coming in (of course, I don't like change.. surprise surprise) I will have to deal with a lot of change going on in my life and I'm sure my friends that are moving and graduating will have to deal with the same kind of change. It will be hard for a lot of us but what's next can be a positive question. As I have been thinking about this question for about a month now, it has always been a depressing question to me.

I don't want to think about the change that is going to happen.
I don't want to think about what is going to happen next because I don't know what the outcome will me.
Buuuuut what if this question is taken in the light..
What new exciting adventures can I partake in now?
What new friends will I make?
What's next for my life?

I've come up with the perfect answer to that question for my life. So ask me, what's next?
What's next is a bowl full of opportunities, new adventures with new friends, fun times and new memories, an exciting summer, a best year to top off the last (though that will be mighty hard to do...), and last but not least.. lots and lots of play time.

So as I take a "half full" look at my life, I'm not too worried about what's next because I know I can make it whatever I want it to be regardless of all the change in my life. It will be positive and happy and exciting all wrapped in one and I can't help but excited about what's next.
