College is supposed to be the best years of your life. Four years full of memories, friends, laughs, academic experiences, tears, adventures, stupid nights, and regretful mornings. Will you remember it all?I had an epiphany at 7:15am this morning as I was folding my laundry-I will always remember my college years. I know it doesn’t sound much like an epiphany but trust me, it was.
Everything we do in college, will we remember it for the rest of our lives? Every late night in the library, every “last call” and the lights turning on at the crappy bar down the street, every meal you cook with your friends and, every presentation you give, every hand you shake, everything. Will you remember it all? Then I began to realize, background-repeat:initial initial”>it would be impossible to forget it.

But, what I can definitely say is that 1) it has been the best four years and 2) I will always remember these years.Every late night at the library results in either an exam grade that makes you thankful you stayed up so late or an exam grade that makes you hit your head against the table and wish you just slept instead. Every last call with the lights turning on at that dive bar just makes you laugh. Every hand you shake is just another door and network for the future
“Georgia”,”serif””>So I guess you kind of will remember everything. That’s that I guess. That was my epiphany-my “aaahhhaaa!” moment where I asked myself if I would remember college and realized I’d be silly to forget it. College is what is shaping me into the woman I am and am becoming-and that’s the way it should be for you too. Thanks Bryant, you’re giving me the best four years of my life……..(thus far).
