The home stretch, a year from today you'll be at a meeting with your advisor making sure that you have earned all of the right credits to graduate. I know it seems far right now and there's so much left to still do before graduation, but the end is near and it's just your beginning. The days feel long and the assignments get harder each semester, but it's going to be worth it. I know that for a fact. It 's difficult to hold on to the positivity you had your first day of freshman year where everything was exciting and all was good in the world. Today, you crumble under pressure and find that everything is so much more difficult than it ever has been. We don't talk about how difficult college is enough, a lot of talk circles around about the partying and the fun aspects which are definitely the positives of going to a University.
