As the seniors begin preparing for graduation and saying goodbye to their home for the past four years, the rest of us are either happy to go home after finals, sad to be leaving our friends and college life, or are pretty neutral about moving out.Â
As a rising junior, it’s different saying goodbye because some of your friends are going abroad. However, this is more of a “see you later” type of situation, whereas for many of the seniors it’s a “see you never” type of situation. While I still have two years left to live here in good ol’ Chestnut Hill, right now I think it is time for me to go home.
Don’t get me wrong, I love college, but sometimes I miss being around regular people back home in NYC. Every time I see a baby, I nearly freak out because I forget about the world outside of college.
Going home this summer will allow all of us to recalibrate physically and mentally. As we finish up finals, and our brains recover from the past two weeks of intense torture, just remember that there is more to come for those who are coming back in August. For our seniors graduating, we will miss you and though we hate to say “goodbye” or “see you later”, the real world awaits you.
While thinking about the future may be scary, it’s exciting. As we leave campus, we enter the world full of possibilities. There is so much more to come for all of us, but now maybe it is time to leave this bubble and re-enter the real world.
