Dear fall 2016 semester,
I just want to start off by saying thank you. Out of all of my semesters in college this is defiantly one for the books. You taught me so much about myself, life, and of course about my classes.
For starters this was the first semester that I actually liked and almost looked forward to my classes. I have learned so much about computer art, radio, drawing, and videography. Taking classes in subjects you actually have a passion for has made school that much more enjoyable.
I'm not going to go into detail but, I have learned more about myself in these past three months then I have in my whole life. I experienced a lot of things for the first time this semester. Some of these things have been amazing and some felt almost detrimental at the time. As I sit here studying for finals reflecting on all that has happened I have come to the conclusion that I wouldn't have changed anything. All of these instances, good and bad, have made me stronger and more aware overall.
Thank you for pushing me, giving me confidence, and the ability to just let loose and go for it. I joined, applied, and interviewed for more things then I can even count. Every opportunity I heard about I jumped on. Now when I tell people what I am involved in, I almost can't believe how involved I am. Because of this I have met so many fantastic people and have been given opportunities I didn't even know where possible.
Fall 2016, you introduced me to some pretty amazing people. You also removed some people from my life. At the time this was difficult for me to swallow but now I know it was for the better. I like to think that everyone come in and out of your life for a reason. Some stay longer then others, and that's okay.
I'm going to miss you fall 2016 semester but I'm looking forward to what your friend, spring 2017, has in store for me!
Sincerely,
Michelle
