Dear Rowan, As I Graduate College
Alyssa Paluch

Dear Rowan,

I want you to know this: I had the best years of my life here. I'm not saying that I didn't have any tough times. I most definitely did, but I had the most fun here. For that, thank you.

As I graduate college, know that you have not seen the last of me. You're lucky enough to have me again for another two years as I become a Master in Education. You get to take more of my money, and I get to make more memories.

I am really scared for the real world, so that's actually why I wanted to start another school journey here in Glassboro. This place has taught me many things, and I feel the most comfortable at Rowan. It's a great place to be.

Every college has its flaws. The past four years was very stressful, to say the least. I'm sure these flaws will improve or get better. I hope some of the flaws are completely eliminated by the time I'm long gone.

I've made many friends and done many things. I was a part of student activities on campus; I worked and volunteered with them. I've lived in four places and lived with people new and old. I was happy, sad, frustrated, stressed, angry... and now that it's over, I can't help but feel proud.

I've got to say, you put me through hell, but as always, I could somehow handle it and get through it. With the support from my family and friends, it was actually a piece of cake, even though in those moments it felt like the end.

So, Rowan, as I graduate college, I want you to know that much it meant to me. You were my first-choice school for a reason. Although it was bumpy at times, and I mean super bumpy, I can't thank you enough for helping me achieve my goals and dreams.

I can't wait to say that I am a college graduate.

Thank you so much for the best four years of my life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
