It’s time for me to face it: my junior year is ending, and my last two semesters at Brown begin in September. I am simply unprepared to leave this place just one year from now, and the mere mention of “graduation” actually makes me well up with tears. Despite the ridicule from my roommates at these emotions, I know I’m not the only incoming senior that feels this way. These feelings of anxiety, sadness, gratitude, and nostalgia are common to any prospective graduate or even just a young person who realizes they aren’t so young anymore. I find solace in the fact that I can reuse my “grads <3" from the end of high school to seek comfort in the now. And so for anyone who finds our title as "4th year undergraduate" a little alarming, please enjoy this playlist!
