Beginning of the End
Christmas break is officially over and a new semester is ahead of us. Break was filled with lazy days and hanging out with friends. Doing those things was great, but I was ready to get back to school to see my staff, see my roommates and see my friends. While I love being at home, I missed the environment and life here at CBU.
This week marks the beginning of my last semester of undergraduate classes here at CBU. It’s crazy to think that I have already completed seven semesters. Multiple times on the first day of classes my roommate asked, “Can you believe we are starting our last semester of undergraduate classes?” Each time I would respond with some version of “Please don’t remind me.” You see, ever since school started in the fall we’ve pretty much been avoiding the topic of graduation, not wanting to fully accept the fact that in just a few months we are going to graduate and be thrown into the cruel, cold world.
However, today I took a big step in accepting the fact that I am graduating. Once a week I have been getting an email that tells me to apply for graduation. Well, today I decided to do what the email said and actually apply. I went to the Office of the Registrar, picked up a bright green applicationand filled it out. That means I am one step closer to graduation and one step closer to entering the real world.
Though there is some uncertainty about graduating and what the next chapter of my life will include, there is also a ton of excitement. Once I graduate, I am closer to working in a classroom and teaching students. As a liberal studiesmajor, I have had to opportunity to work in many different classes over the past seven semesters, and I have loved every second of it. Working with students makes me excited to graduate and begin teaching. So there you have it, this final semester is both exciting and frightening, but I’m ready to enjoy this last semester.
