One Last Semester

It's my last one, but it's going to be good!

One Last Semester

My final semester of college is finally here but I can't really imagine this all ending. It still feels just as far away as it did my freshman year. Then I could only imagine how much more I had to learn. Now I know how little I truly know and I want to learn so much more. In some ways I feel college is ending too quickly, but I'm far too ready to start my own life to wish for a longer college career.

I've been through a lot over these past 4 years. I've grown significantly and the chaos of having been to 3 colleges definitely helped me. Maybe it would have been easier or even better if my college experience had been more stable, but the experiences I've gained are ones I wouldn't trade for anything. Maybe some of my myriad of mistakes are ones worthy of regret, but they were mistakes I learned from. Mistakes that if they had never been made, I wouldn't be the person I am now.

Enough of that though, my last semester is one I'm excited for even without the thrill of it being the last one. I have several exciting classes with small class sizes. I'm certain that this semester I'll meet a lot of new people and progress friendships with older friends. I even have a separate internship this semester. I have so much to do and I'm ready to really have to dig in my heels and work hard all semester. I want to finish out with satisfaction at the work I put in; it looks like this semester will be the most satisfying yet.

I hope the rest of you have a great semester as well, thanks for reading!

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.

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.
