So Long...College
I can't believe this day has come. Four years ago my college career began with high aspirations and extreme levels of excitement. I was prepared to take on the academics put in front of me and excel at everything I did. Little did I know that college was going to provide me with challenges that will prepare me for the future more than I can imagine.
I came in to college feeling like I was mature for my age. I didn't get involved with drama and I felt like I had a grip on where my life was going. I had my majors figured out and my classes mapped out for four years. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
With three weeks left in college I feel like I am the least prepared person to ever graduate from the university. I am graduating with degrees in two majors, one of which is extremely respectable in journalism and one of which is easy in communication studies. I am not sure if either of these majors will help me greatly in the profession I choose. I am planning on working at my current job for another six months and try to see if I can move up and make a career out of it. If that doesn't work out I can try to find a new job or go to graduate school for sports management. Either way, I am extremely confused about my future and very stressed out over it.
That leaves me with one thing left to do. Have fun. This experience at KU will go down as the greatest time of my life. I was constantly broke, made hundreds of new friends, lived through some great parties and forgot some epic nights. I have learned many lessons in the classroom and many more outside the classroom. Through it all I have grown as a person and am leaving more prepared for adult life than when I came. I love this school and would not go anywhere else in the world. My senior year has seen an Orange Bowl victory in football, a National Championship in basketball and a torn ACL over Christmas Break. All three of these events will never be forgotten in my lifetime.
Now I'm off to finish up my college career in all its glory. I loved it, I'll miss it and I would do it again in a second.
