I was watching the last episode of Vikings on Hulu yesterday when it hit me that this was really the last episode after six seasons. I started watching Vikings around January or February when Netflix announced that a sequel called Vikings Valhalla would be arriving soon. I had never seen the first Vikings so I wanted to watch it first to at least have a full understanding before Valhalla came out. I'm not going to spoil it for those who haven't watched it but It is six seasons with an average of 20 episodes per season. Due to my time and etc. I watched it when I could and just finished it yesterday.
It's crazy how much I have come to admire these characters as I watched their upbringing from the days in which they were simple farmers trying to survive to them exploring in search of land, gold and the numerous battles they fought and survived in order to achieve their dreams. Watching the final episode was crazy to think about how far some of the characters had came and how many of them had died. There were a few who had happy endings and finally sailed into the sunset and enjoyed peace while the majority of characters the show started with had died due to illnesses, battles, or other circumstances. It had me thinking about how all good things come to an end and nothing lasts forever and we just have to appreciate and enjoy those times when we're in them or look back and just reminisce on them.
Ever since we got into this month which is August I have been thinking about how different life is for me now. This is the first time in 6 years that I haven't had to think about School when August came. After I graduated High School, August meant it was time for me to make sure I had my schedule figured out for my college classes, have all the things I needed for school bought, tell my supervisor of the summer job I was working when my last day would be because I would be heading to school and finally make sure I spent time with my home friends before I drove 5 hours to my college town of Lubbock and be gone for months. Not having to do all this anymore as a graduate is kinda refreshing but It has also given me the chance to miss my college years. I have been thinking about the games, tailgates, parties, clubs, food, events, classes, friends, beautiful females, the walks around campus, and just overall the day to day life of a college student.
I look back and miss it a lot but also know all good things must come to an end and has made me appreciate those times. There are numerous people I met in those years whom I thought would be in my life forever but have not spoken to in years. I enjoyed my college years and don't regret a thing but there are days nowadays where I just want to go back to Lubbock and relive those days. This also goes for bad things too. All bad things will come to an end. God has said he will never let us go through something he knows we can't handle and this is why I never stress or worry about the hard times because I know they'll all eventually come to an end. The hard times we go through and the struggles will not last forever. We have to enjoy and appreciate the times, relationships, people and overall everything in our lives in that moment but also know that it's okay when it is time for these things to end because not everything lasts forever.
