Where did the time go? I swear just yesterday I was driving down Moore Ave for the start of freshmen orientation and now I am days away from the start of my final semester of college. I still have not come to terms with the fact that the next few months are going to be full of lasts. My last first day of school, my last Trivia Tuesday at Bull Run, my last LIT Thursday, my last mixer, my last JUGs, my last formal, my last crush party, my last finals (thankful for this, though), my last days living within 5 minutes of all my best friends.

With all of these upcoming lasts looming in my mind, I find myself reminiscing on all of the amazing memories and friends that these past three and a half years of college have awarded me. College is a time for growth, for learning, for mistakes, for maturing, for gaining confidence, for getting too drunk, for sleeping in too late, and for learning your limits. It is a time to find yourself.

In my last semester, I am not going to look back and think "what could I have done differently with my college experience?" Instead, I am going to live in the moment and make the most of every single day I have left. I am going to spend as much time as possible with my friends. I am never going to question if I should go out because the answer is always yes when it comes to a semester of lasts. I will take advantage of all the things I have been "too busy" to try in past semesters like hiking or going to the bounce-plex. I will not be sad about the fact that it is a semester of lasts, but rather I will be thankful for the amazing memories and look excitedly towards a new beginning to come in the real world.

Let the adventure begin!
