Wow, college is over for me… at least undergraduate school (if I pass that extremely hard Biology class, that is). I really can’t believe that the 4 years came to an end, it seemed way too fast and I really do wish I had more time left. I won’t miss the homework, going to classes, taking tests, and all that, but nobody misses that. I will miss living so close to all of my friends, and it’s going to be very strange not seeing them every day, since I have seen some of them almost every single day for the past 4 years. Like everyone else, I guess I have to move on, get a job, and realize that college is only a small part of one’s life. I don’t even know why I am writing this, I’m not really that motivated to write a blog post, but I figured, what the hell else am I going to do with my free time? I’ll probably import this on facebook, cause I know that nobody really checks this, and I can’t blame them cause I probably wouldn’t either.
Of all my years at college, senior year has definitely been the best. I met a ton of new friends, which is great, considering you usually have the bulk of your friends by this time. But I met very good friends this year, in and out of my classes, and I hope I will stay friends with these people for a long time. I really wish I met some of these people so much earlier than during my senior year, but I am happy that I was able to meet them at all. Although my classes this last semester weren’t the best, the people that were in them were great, and that made it so much easier for me actually get up and go to class every day.
I think I have definitely changed a lot since when I first came to Syracuse, and I think MVP and Doty can vouch for that, two of my best friends who have seen me through the good times and the bad times for the most of these 4 years. Hopefully I changed for the better. What I do know, that maybe I didn’t know back then, is that I can make it. Maybe right now, at the end of school, I won’t be doing exactly what I set out to do when I was a freshman, but things change and we can get things to still work out our way if we work hard enough.
It might sound corny, but this entire post might be kind of corny, so I don’t even care. Stuff like this always sounds so corny and cliche, but it’s the truth. It’s not like I will never be back to Syracuse, and it’s not like I will never see my friends. It just won’t really be the same, when I come back to visit my friends at school, I’ll be that old guy… although come to think of it, I already am old… and the ones who have graduated will have a lot on their plates, as will I, and we won’t be able to just do whatever we want all day and then come back and start playing fence every other night from 5 pm – 1 am. Going to games will be a little bit weird too, I’ll feel like those old guys who come to every game and actually stay optimistic about some of our teams (although for some of them, that’s basically like torturing yourself). College is like your own little world for 4 years, and even though you have some responsibility, you can really do whatever the hell you want.
And to sum it all up, I’ll miss that.
So thank you to everyone who helped me make this college experience so enjoyable. I won’t name names, this isn’t the Mitchell report… and some people don’t like having their names out there for the 3 (if not less) people that might read this to see. But, you know who you are.
