In just a few weeks, the first day of my last adventure will begin. My 5th semester of college. More specifically my last semester of my undergraduate career. It will not be like my semesters before. It will be different due to the fact that most of my friends graduated this past May. However, I have classes and jobs that will keep my busy. While I do feel sad about not having my most of my friends during my last semester, I am excited to graduate and begin my new adventure--a full time job.
During this upcoming semester, I hope to do all of the things I hope to do before I walk across the stage and get my blank diploma. I want to go to another football game. I only have been to one since I have been at UWL. I want to buy my UWL flag that I can someday put in my office once I get a job. I want to go on a pub crawl. I want to treasure my last semester because I won't have a chance to sleep in everyday. I won't have nap breaks during the day. I probably get annoyed with the freshman and seniors for walking too slow or for being loud. I will feel old as a 5th year senior. But most students will think I am a freshman because I am short. However, this extra seamiest will allow me to gain more knowledge and give me more time to prepare for the real world.
Some of you may be in the same boat. Some of you may be starting your first semester of college. Don't be nervous. Get excited. It will be the best years of your life. Cherish your time with your friends and the unforgettable memories you made. Continue your friendships whether it's with friends or professors you became close with. This is your time. Your time to shine and find yourself.
