So here we are again, starting a new year in college. Except this time the feeling is different. I have many mixed emotions about starting this new year. I’m happy but sad, excited but nervous, and confident but fearful. I have all of these mixed emotions because this will be my last year. That’s right, I am now a senior and this will be my final year in college.
As I am starting my senior year, I also reflect on my junior year. I have learned a lot of lessons, not just academically. My junior year was not easy for me for multiple reasons. But I made it through and it just showed me that I can handle anything, even at my worst. I have taken a lot of lessons from my junior year and I am now ready to take them with me into my senior year.
I just wish for my senior year to be filled with joy and happiness. There are so many exciting things happening for me and I just can’t wait. I have graduation, job hunting, moving back home, and many more exciting things that will be happening. On the other side of that, I also will have to leave my friendships and relationships that I made here which will be very hard. I will have to leave my school, my roommates, my friends, my coworkers, and anybody else I have met here. I know that will not be easy for me and I will be dreading that part. See this is why I have so many mixed emotions this year. On one hand, I will finally be able to start my life and learn what it takes to be an adult working a full time job. I can finally start to live out my dreams and achieve all of my goals. On the other hand, I will be leaving everything I have done here in three years behind. I will not be living with my roommates, seeing my friends all the time, and working the part- time job that I love ever again.
It is a very bittersweet feeling being a senior. But until that last day comes, I just want to try and live in the moment as much as I can. I wanna do things and learn things that I have not yet done. I just really want to live each day to the fullest and have no regrets about my senior year. So here’s to senior year… the best year ever.
