Oh my, this is it. This is the last year for my undergraduate studies. August 24 will begin the first day of my last fall semester. There are just so many thoughts and emotions taking over me as I prepare for move-in day.
1. Where did the time go?
It feels like just yesterday I was moving into a dorm room half the size of my room at home and sharing a bathroom with 40 other girls. I am now getting ready to move into my first apartment with my own bedroom and bathroom (praise).
2. This summer was my last "Summer Break."
With the hopes of getting a job after I graduate, this summer was my last “Summer Break.”
3. Making this year my best year.
My last year will be my best year. I am speaking it into existence right now. My college experience has been great so far, and I will continue this greatness until the end!
4.What am I going to do after I graduate?
If I had a nickel for every time I was asked this question during the summer, I would be rich. Every day I have thoughts of where I will be in a year’s time. Will it be graduate school, big girl/real world job, or even both?
5. College has changed me.
As I compare my first year to now my upcoming last year, I realize I have changed and matured for the better. My experiences, whether it was making new friends, taking that difficult class and making an A, or “talking” to a boy I knew was no good for me, I have learned so much. I would not go back and change a single thing because I have learned from my mistakes and those mistakes have allowed me to grow up.
6. Glad to say purple is my favorite color.
On graduation day, I am excited to dress up head to toe in purple. I can’t wait to put on that purple cap and gown and represent ECU proudly.
7. Finally turning 21!
I am young for my level of schooling, so I always have the late birthday compared to my friends. On September 9, I will finally be able to order a Sup Crush from Sup Dogs (yum).
8. Do not wish these days away.
We all have bad days where we just want to say, “I wish this day was over already.” My goal is to not be the one to say that. There will be the good and bad days, andI plan to embrace what is given to me in my days and keep going!
