Senior Year

Thinking of putting on the cap and gown again is really terrifying. In less than a week I will begin my fourth and final year of my undergraduate education at Christopher Newport University, Senior Year. I cannot believe it has been four years since I started senior year of high school. The whole world seemed to be in front of me back then. Senior year of high school was a great year full of good times. I watched our Senior Slideshow video back in May when I was packing to come home for the summer and just cried because I realized that was a totally different life. It is crazy to see how far my fellow PH alumnus and me have come. I honestly do miss PH and all that it had to offer.

Do not get me wrong CNU has proven to be quite an experience. I will be a proud graduate and I know that CNU really is one of the best schools in Virginia, even if 'The University' was my dream school and rejected me, I am very glad I ended up at CNU. I have learned so much about myself in the past three years, not to mention I know I am getting a good education. I never would have guessed I would be majoring in Psychology. How dorky is this, my Senior Seminar is Clinical Neuropsychology, I get to study brain damage case studies, pretty sweet huh?

I cannot believe I start Senior Year on Monday. I am so excited but at the same time so scared. I am worried it is going to go by so fast I won't even realize it until I am walking across stage next May 15th. I have made some of the best friends I will ever have here. I am excited to see what the world has in store for me after graduation, at the same time I am not ready to leave it yet. I watched the Saved By The Bell Graduation episode tonight and again cried like a little girl. I have a feeling I will need lots of tissues come next May.

Here is to Senior Year and making it count.
