Well, its here. In just two short weeks I will be registering for my final semester of college. How did it get here so fast and why do I still feel like I belong in the freshman dorms freaking out about my college writing class. In reality, the only things I'm freaking out about now are my senior project and getting a job after graduation. I'm going to be an adult. Though I still get told that I look like I am twelve, I am actually very soon going to be taking on the real world. Am I ready?
I'm determined and I know what I am passionate about. I know where I want to be in ten years, my only problem is finding the best road to get there. I know it takes time to reach dreams, but I hold them so close to me that I just want to live them now.
I'm currently in the midst of writing my senior project, and as each page is finished, I see myself getting closer and closer to graduation. In just a few short months, I will no longer be a college student. I will be a college graduate, though I know I will never truly finish learning.
I want to continue to learn and grow throughout my career just as I have learned and grown throughout my years as a student. People say it all the time, but time truly does fly. I remember my first day of kindergarten so clearly and now I am about to embark on my last semester of school.
Being proud of how far I have come is an understatement. I very nearly transferred when I was a freshman because of how lonely and unhappy I was at my current school. I had no friends, I missed home, and I was in a completely new place. Fast forward to now, I love New York and I'm glad I decided to stay. I have friends, a job, an internship, and good grades. I put myself on a happier track and really figured out how to turn my college experience around.
I finished all of my requirements and now only need eight credits to graduate. So, I've made it so I can have a relatively fun last semester. I plan on being a TA in Zumba, continuing to work as a social media intern on campus, work as an office assistant, and finish up my senior project. This is the final stretch, and I want to finish out strong.
