Four Years Later…

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Columbia Chicago chapter.

Who would have ever thought four years could go by so quickly? Well, for me, it has, and I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. I’m graduating in less than two weeks, and I can’t wait to finally be done with undergraduate school and be able to call myself an official Columbia College Chicago alumnus! It’s been quite an amazing and incredible journey. I’ve met some amazing people along the way and grown apart from some people and lost a few friendships, too. But I understand it all happened for a reason. Of course I’m going to be searching for a job after I’m done with school, but I’m in no rush. I know I’ll be able to find something up my alley. It’ll all happen in good time. But right now, I’m going to enjoy having nothing to do and just relax! Cheers to class of 2011!
