Let's get the negative out of the way first - one thing I'm definitely not going to miss about Rutgers is the scheduling annoyance i faced EVERY SINGLE semester. This time was no different. Seriously, I can't remember (um, because it didn't happen) one semester where I had no problems scheduling classes for the next semester. The frustration and the stress during planning my schedule, registration, the week leading up to class and the first week of classes were something I will not miss. Neither will my family as I'm pretty sure I drove them crazy every time for all of those times I just mentioned all eight semesters long. I'm sure a lot of other Rutgers student will agree with this problem as well.
Okay, enough of the negative.
I'm one of those people that are sentimental/emotional and cherishes the 'moments'... and this is definitely one of them. It's amazing to think that in a few short months i'll 'graduate' into the real world. Whoa. Pretty scary, huh?
Sure, i have graduate school ahead of me - but that's just different.
Time sure flies by, doesn't it? The last seventeen years of schooling (kindergarten through 12th grade and these past 4 years to get my B.A.) sure have. I was actually just looking at old photos from back when we were little kids this past weekend when my aunt and uncle were over and talking about old memories - I don't know about you, but I LOVE looking at old pictures and reminiscing.
While I don't actually remember my first day at school, I definitely remember my first day of school. You know - school bag on my back, wearing the school uniform, crying like crazy as my mom takes me to school? Ha.
Hopefully this semester goes by smoothly. Not that I'm expecting it to, considering my last seven semesters at Rutgers... but I guess, that's part of the 'experience'. More importantly, I hope that I make the most of this last semester at Rutgers. In hindsight, sure there are things I would have done differently - but wouldn't most people? One thing is for sure, everything can be a learning experience if you choose to look at it like that.
P.S. Don't forget to leave me a comment below on your thoughts! As always, I'd love to hear from you.

thank you!
It's exciting, knowing that graduation is in the horizon. Of course, when you're so near to that part of your life, you realise that you need to stop and smell the roses a little bit more often. I had the misfortune of deciding to delay doing that because I was so caught up with my own dissertation, that the only time I got to truly grasp the idea of leaving college was when I was walking across the quad of my own college, dissertation in hand, minutes before submitting it to my dean before the stipulated deadline. Of course, I only had a brief time to look around before the transition from student to graduate fully took place.
I wish you nothing but the best of this last year and that you continue to stop and look around and what you have achieved and what you have learned to love during your college years. All the best!
thanks, i appreciate it!
and i agree - i am trying to remind myself often to relax and enjoy it... which is a lot easier said than done!
