Ready To Go Home

(Choosing the Coast Guard Academy, Class of 2016) Permanent link All Posts

Today is my first day heading home in the past five months. I’m beyond excited. These past months have tested me but were definitely worth it. Last night I pulled out my R-Day backpack from storage to pack and go home, which brought back many memories. I distinctly remember packing it up and saying goodbye to my friends, heading into the unknown. Now, I have all my stuff packed and am so ready to go home. There’s a different excitement that comes after not seeing friends and family for so long. For all those applying, I also remember sending in my application around this time and the stress that came from it. You’re not alone! I was constantly nervous about the future and my chances. Relax, and enjoy your senior year! Happy Thanksgiving!
