During my sophomore year, I’ve made a lot of amazing friends, but the one issue is that a lot of them are seniors. As graduation draws closer, the reality of their impending departure is starting to hit me, especially because I’m going abroad in the fall. My thought process over the past few weeks has gone a little something like this:
1. Shock and Denial: Wait, is it really April already? I feel like I just met them yesterday!
2. Pain and Guilt: *Sobs periodically* This is terrible. Just the thought of them leaving makes me want to burst into tears. My heart can’t take it.
3. Anger: How dare they abandon me and my sophomore woes? I shouldn’t have gotten close to them in the first place.
4. Depression: BC is going to be so different without them. Who’s going to give me advice in exchange for a free meal?
5. The Upward Turn: Well I guess I could always call them for advice and I still have a few weeks left. That’s plenty of time for them to take advantage of my meal plan.
6. Reconstruction: Most of them live near Boston or New York so at least I’ll see them when I get back from abroad.
7. Acceptance: Everyone has to graduate at some point, right? I’m sure they’ll come visit.
Despite having gone through all seven stages of these thoughts, I’m still a little bitter that my seniors are leaving me. But I know that the world will be a lot better with them in it.
