Reflections on College

I'm done. I can't believe this day has come. Three years ago, I would never have imagined I would be graduating early and being as successful as I am. It's so weird how fast college has gone by. I have moved out of college for the final time. I have my degree. And I'm thankful. I'm thankful for the fact that I'm coming out of school with a car, a job, an apartment and an amazing boyfriend. I'm also thankful to all my family and friends and APO who have supported me and encouraged me throughout my life and especially the 3 years I have spent at college. I couldn't have done it without you guys and you are loved.

Freshmen year, I met a group of the most awesome, funny people that have brought me through my college years. They lived on my dorm floor and became my big brother and sister. You two I love dearly and always will. That year I also met the man who would come to be my side, even if we did not fully realize it that year.

Sophomore year was spent with The Informer and learning the ways of being a hard hitting journalist. It helped form me and mature me into a professional, polished person.

Junior/Senior year (they totally were molded together) brought me into the loving arms of APO and doing community service and having a new family. I continued to learn, grow and mature and now, having graduated, this year meant the most to me. By the end, I was in the arms of the man I love being at my side. I managed to snag a job in my career. 

I'm excited to begin a new chapter in my life. I'm off to do great things and new doors have opened up for me. I'm ready to see where life will take me.
