The Final Semester

 I currently only have a few weeks left of college and it is finally hitting me. I have been fortunate enough to have a final semester with diverse classes that I was able to take which interested me greatly. I had the opportunity to take an English class (something I had wanted to do since Freshman year), I took criminology, did research, and took a challenging Biomechanics course. Although  I feel I immersed myself in too many outside activities due to fearing that I would regret not doing so, I am glad that I did.
  I am studying for my last and most difficult final tonight. Although it is typically a miserable experience to have anxiety over such a trying exam, I am going to embrace the last time I will be up all night in a library sipping coffee with index cards and textbooks sprawled out everywhere. I have also always enjoyed being in the library because it makes me feel as if I am not alone when it comes to feeling stressed and nervous during this time of year.
  I am sure my willingness to embrace such a brutal experience in college might seem odd, but I have spoken to other Seniors who are also beginning to appreciate the unique experience of putting everything you have into comprehending difficult information and preparing for something seemingly impossible.
  I am very thankful for being fortunate enough to receive an education at such an amazing institution with so many opportunities. I am one of the only Seniors in this class, but all I can say is towards the end of your college career you will appreciate every little moment in college, no matter how much you might despise it at the time.
