Frustrated

As you could probably guess, that change of policy for missionary age-minimums was a HUGE hype at BYU-Idaho today. We talked about it during math-tutoring, in my science class, during lunch, English class AND Religion. Mostly we talked about how it might change people's life plans as a whole. We also talked about the pros and cons of it all. It is REALLY neat that everyone has the opportunity to serve earlier, and I'm glad that everyone's excited for it, but I want to see this excitement endure. I'm a little frustrated (though I probably shouldn't be) that all of a sudden ALL these girls are planning to go on missions too, they're up and ready to go whenever... now that it's not as much of a sacrifice. Now I'm going at 21 and all of them at 19, and I feel like they get to come back and be on the same page as all their friends. Not me. I'll come back and most of my friends will be gone and married, starting families of their own. I'm going to have to start all over with new peers. That scares me, a lot. It just doesn't seem fair that they get to go without having to give all that up now. But life isn't meant to be fair. I know it will all be alright it in the end. It's just hard sometimes.
