As a college senior in my last semester, I am feeling a mix of nostalgia and I'm-not-ready-to-graduate-yet emotions. It has been a long four years -- difficult and challenging -- but also incredibly rewarding and enlightening. The college experience is very similar to a roller coaster ride; there are many ups and downs, it goes by quickly and you don't have time to truly acknowledge its greatness until its over and you leave feeling winded and liberated. At the end of the day, there is nothing that would have made my experience more complete than my college best friends. We have shared memories that I will remember the rest of my life.
