There are only twenty one days left of school. Only fifteen more days of classes and six days of finals. It seems like it was just the other day I was in my room at home packing up all of my stuff to bring down to school for the new semester or was freaking out about how terrifying my syllabuses looked. How did it go by so fast? More importantly, why is going by so fast? 

Classes are getting harder and soon we will be nearing finals when our stress level immediately skyrockets to 100. We have been so busy balancing school work, our social lives, and sleep that we hardly noticed that the semester was flying by. As much as I want this semester to be done and for my classes to end, I don’t want this school year to end.  This semester has been the best yet, and although it’s exciting to see what the next will bring, I'm not ready to let go. It feels like college is going by so fast. 

Everyone has always told me to enjoy my time in college and I truly have. I have enjoyed every second so far. If we’re having such a good time, is it selfish for not wanting it to end? Maybe it's fear of the unknown or a fear of change the drives us to not want our time in college to end. The memories that we have made have brought so much joy into our lives and we don't want that to fade. Unfortunately, it will end, but that doesn’t mean everything will. There is so much to look forward to. Don’t let the change scare you and start facing the change head on because that’s really your only option. Time never stops and things constantly change. Although next semester and the one following that will all be different, I promise I will not let go of the relationships and memories I have made. They have shaped me into who I am today and I am confident that some were made to last. 

So in these last fifteen days of classes and six days of finals don’t forget to enjoy your time. Don’t let the stress get to you, because we all know that it has its way of bringing us down. One day college will end, and you will want to look back on it with no regrets. Be happy and positive these last few days because it goes by faster than you think. Take in every moment now and remember that there are even better times to come.
