As I was leaving senior day at Oklahoma State Univeristy, I came to a realization. I didn't want to leave. It felt like home and I was there just showing my dad around. I remembered where most things were from the first tour. I navigated as if I had been there for years, not for the second time. It felt natural being there. With this in mind, I've come up with five things that I feel need to be said from a senior.

1. I am beyond terrified. I know this may come as a shock to some of my friends and family, but it's true. What am I going to do without my parents? Or my grandparents? Even my brother? Who's going to wake me up when I miss the nine alarms? Me. That scares me more than anything. Everything will depend on me.

2. I will know people, but I won't at the same time. OSU is so big, the chances of me seeing people I actually know from highschool seems very slim. Even today I saw a few, but it was also a day for high school seniors.

3. Yes, I am sure that I want to go there. Some of my family are die hard OU fans, while some are OSU. The OU fans are questioning my insanity for wanting to go to their enemy school, but it's me who is going. It's me that will walk the stage when I graduate, it's also me that will represent my school. You don't have to at all. Just please be happy I'm going to college.

4. I never thought I'd be here. I'd never thought I'd be so in love with a school, let alone a school in Oklahoma. As much as I wanted to move away, the at home atmosphere is more than comforting.

5. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to be out of high school. I'm ready to be in college, and to start being treated like an adult, not a child. I'm ready for the independence. Seeing as I've always been independent, this is all I want.

The countdown till I graduate seems to be speeding up. I'm more than excited to graduate and go. I'm ready to be able to learn about something I love and something I want to do as a career. I'm ready to start my journey at Oklahoma Staye University! GO POKES!!!
