Dear Rowan, As I Graduate College
Alyssa Paluch

Dear Rowan,

I want you to know this: I had the best years of my life here. I'm not saying that I didn't have any tough times. I most definitely did, but I had the most fun here. For that, thank you.

As I graduate college, know that you have not seen the last of me. You're lucky enough to have me again for another two years as I become a Master in Education. You get to take more of my money, and I get to make more memories.

I am really scared for the real world, so that's actually why I wanted to start another school journey here in Glassboro. This place has taught me many things, and I feel the most comfortable at Rowan. It's a great place to be.

Every college has its flaws. The past four years was very stressful, to say the least. I'm sure these flaws will improve or get better. I hope some of the flaws are completely eliminated by the time I'm long gone.

I've made many friends and done many things. I was a part of student activities on campus; I worked and volunteered with them. I've lived in four places and lived with people new and old. I was happy, sad, frustrated, stressed, angry... and now that it's over, I can't help but feel proud.

I've got to say, you put me through hell, but as always, I could somehow handle it and get through it. With the support from my family and friends, it was actually a piece of cake, even though in those moments it felt like the end.

So, Rowan, as I graduate college, I want you to know that much it meant to me. You were my first-choice school for a reason. Although it was bumpy at times, and I mean super bumpy, I can't thank you enough for helping me achieve my goals and dreams.

I can't wait to say that I am a college graduate.

Thank you so much for the best four years of my life.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
