Well, this is it, the last hoorah. It is the second semester of my senior year and I will be graduating in May. I really have mixed feelings about actually graduating. I have the despair of actually finding a job and being an adult, but I have the excitement of a new adventure. The way I see graduation is like a butterfly coming out of its shell, it’s time to shed the comfortable and go into the unknown. But hey, such is life, let’s take it on full force.

But as the first day of classes comes to a close, I have some more concreate thoughts about what’s going on. This semester I am only taking three classes and it doesn’t seem like it will be too bad. But at the same time, I feel like have a lot of time on my hands. This is the first time in my college career I have more than an hour to do what I want to do.

All my classes this semester doesn’t seem too bad, considering I only have one upper level class. But only time will tell how bad it will get or how good it will be. It just felt odd sitting in a 100 level class as a second semester senior. The first day, I wasn’t even listening to the professor, rather I was just reflecting on what I am doing with my life. I have finished my major and one of my minors and I am about to finish my second minor. I was thinking where time has really gone, the last time I checked I was still a freshman in college. In less than 5 months, I will be a graduate of Ursinus College, and that is terrifying to me.

Also, just listening to the professor I understand what he talking about at a high academic level. I felt as though I have grown mentally and that I am capable of understanding higher levels of thought. It just seems odd to me how far I have come in the last four years. It actually surprises me. I have learned a lot and I hope to continue to learn with my last three classes of undergrad. I want to make the best out of my last 5 months, so let the games begin, and let’s have a little fun along the way as well.
