What comes next? My college career is coming to an end in less than six months. Every bone in my body is shivering with fear and excitement. Coming to a university was all I ever dreamed about since I could remember, it was the only thing I knew that I was meant for me in this life. It sounds a little dramatic, but graduating with a degree that I love has always been my dream. I am almost there, which is crazy because my life has been nothing but a wild and painful rollercoaster. But now that I am nearly at the end, it is time to start thinking of what comes after. It seems so unreal. I will be graduating in only three years, with a bachelors degree in political science and twin minors in criminal justice and philosophy. It has been a long and stressful three years, and I never got a break. I was always taking 15+ hours and 12 hours every summer. But I did all that because I was way too eager to finally accomplish what I have wanted for years. I could not thank the University of North Texas enough for being all that I ever hoped for. I met my life-long best friends here, I experienced some of the best moments of my life, I have grown to be a better than I was when I first arrived here. The woman I am today is someone who I have always aspired to be, I am extremely proud of myself for pushing through this part of my life. I know college is not for everyone, but I think everyone should try it because you never know what will happen. I never knew that moving 12 hours away from home with no friends or family would be the best decision of my life. Whatever comes after graduation, I know I will be just fine. I am beyond excited for this chapter of my life to close and ready for what is to come.
