..............................and that's a wrap!

04/29/2013

After five very long years I am officially done with my undergraduate degree. It doesn't feel real yet,  and it probably won't kick in until I  have walked across the stage and I am holding my diploma with my own two hands. 

I never thought that I would see the end when I started college, and as I would pray that the semester would fly by and I could complete another year of college. Back then I would say how I wanted time to pass and things that like, and you always here people say "don't wish your time away" and it is true. Now that I am moving on to a different chapter in life it literally seems like a dream that I was sitting in freshman seminar waiting for the weekend so that I could go have fun with my friends. I don't think you realize how much time changes people. I have different priorities now and a new outlook on life.

College has taught me that I can do anything I want to if I put my mind too it.

College gave me the three most amazing best friends that I have ever had, I know that those three friendships will last a lifetime. 

College gave me a chance to be someone who helps others.

College made me appreciate how important family is. And I must say that I never would have made it through without the support and sometimes tough love of my family.

College let me continue to participate in the sport I love for four years and make history as being Indiana University Easts first four year track athlete.

I could go on and on about how college has changed my life, but what I need  to say most is I owe Indiana University East a huge thank you. This place was like a home and the people are like  family. I have had the privilege of getting to know, meet and work with amazing people. I also have never set foot on a campus that was so willing to go the extra mile for any student who needed a hand. It is astonishing to see how much Indiana University has grown even since I was admitted and we were still the pioneers.

It has been an honor to be given the opportunity to write blogs for the university and work for the amazing Admissions staff. They deserve a special thank you for putting up with me and my crazy schedules all these years. The admissions staff really go above and beyond.

So in closing, I am sad to say that this will be the last blog that I write for Indiana University East and I am excited more than ever for the next chapter in my life. I wish every single one of you the best and want to end by saying......
