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

 

As I embark upon my final week at IUP, I can’t help but be humbled at the wonderful experiences that I’ve had here. From changing my major -not once, not twice, but thrice-to joining more organizations than Taylor Swift had boyfriends in the last year- to launching the IUP chapter of the amazing site that is HerCampus.com, I look back fondly at all of the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Thanks to IUP I’ve learned how to prioritize, maneuver Philly Street like a pro, write a 5 page essay the night before it was due, cut toxic friends and most importantly, how to put what I learned in the classroom, into real-world practice. I laughed; I cried; I matured.

So even though I cannot wait to strut my stuff across that stage next Saturday, hug that piece of paper for all its worth, and toss my cap into the sky like Mary Tyler Moore, I readily admit that I will miss this little party school. Thank you IUP for helping to make me the woman I am today.

For my fellow seniors, what are you going to miss about IUP? Share your experiences below!
