Being a Senior in College give you so much to think about. What will I be doing when I leave? Where am I going to end up? But while there is so much to think about in the future, there is also a lot to think about when it comes to college memories. While I am super excited to be done with college and moving on to whatever else life has to throw at me, there is so much I will miss.
Here is a list of 5 things I will miss about college.
1. Major specific Classes
This may shock people, but college is for learning after all. When it comes to General Education classes, forget it, but it's different when it comes to classes I am getting my degree in. I love learning about my field. When I get to class I can't discover what else is out there. I know that when I finally get out there and get working I will still be learning, but I will still miss my classes while at college.
2. Late Night runs to Express Mart
Sometimes you just need to go get ice cream! My roommates and I used to stay up late and talk and every once in awhile we would get a craving for something sweet. We would put our coats on and drive over to one of the gas stations (Express Mart) in town and buy ice cream! Those ice cream cookies were huge, and they were so good!!!
3. Sleepovers with my best friend
Unlike some college students, I have never lived in a dorm. Since my first semester at my college, I have lived in an apartment that is considered On Campus housing. I love my apartment at school. I have my own room, which is nice, but it can get lonely. I was fortunate to get placed with an amazing person, whom now I call my best friend. Sometimes we get lonely in our single rooms so we have sleepovers! I will miss that.
4. Independence without all the problems
Being away at college is great. You Finally out of your parent's house, but still get to go home over break which is nice when you are looking for some Independence. Plus, while in school you don't have to worry about paying rent or buying food if you live on campus. For right now it is great! But once graduation happens you have to start paying off those college loans, get a job, and if you don't have some money put away you might just find yourself back in your house with your parents.
5. Friends
Meeting people at college is difficult for me. I do not have that many friends, but the ones I do have I love dearly. Unfortunately, they live hours away from my hometown, so once college ends I don't know how often I will get to see them. That's the great thing about college, your friends are right there. I will definitely miss living so close to them.
While I love college and will miss so many things about it I am excited about moving on to the next chapter of my life. There are so many things out there to do, see, and experience. I really can't wait for what is next... well except for paying to college loans.
