Dear Last Semester,

I can't believe this is happening. It seems like yesterday I was a young freshman, bright-eyed and eager about the future. But I was thankful, knowing that I had four years at this amazing school to really discover who I am, and find my passion in life.

And now, it's coming to an end.

I've spent four years studying, meeting my best friends, discovering my passion, and finding myself. And now, in a few short months, it's coming to an end.

It's all gone so fast. In a few months time, I won't go to this school anymore. I'll be an alumna, and be proud of the degree that will hang on my wall. It's easy to focus on everything ending, and it's easy to get sad. But in these last few months, I'm going to focus on all the positive things that are coming from this.

I got four of the most amazing years of my life. I met my best friends and made memories that are going to last a lifetime. I can't express my gratitude to all the people who made my four years what they have been.

I had amazing professors, who taught me more than I could've hoped. Not only did they cover their subject matter, but they taught me about life. They pushed me more than I thought they would (or hoped) and sometimes I hated that they pushed me so much, but in the end, I came out of their classes so much stronger.

I found my passion. Coming into college, I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, but after one semester, I knew what I wanted to major in. I am lucky enough to not only have found that major, but have had the opportunity to study with amazing professors, and amazing peers who have taught me more than I could've asked for.

I found home. I wouldn't have stayed at this university if I didn't fall in love with it, and want to be at every single day. When I drive up to it, I feel like a kid at DisneyWorld, and it's the most amazing feeling. I have never regretted my decision to come here, and I never will.

It's my last semester of undergrad. I'm going to take this last one and run with it. Nervous for what lies ahead, but always excited. I'm going to give it everything I've got.

When I walk across that stage in May, I'm going to be incredibly sad to see this adventure end. But I'm going to hold my head proud, and be excited for what the future holds.
