As a little girl, I've always imagined growing up and going to college. I thought about having a great time in college and eventually graduating. That day seemed so far away back then and now I'm in my senior year of college, about to take my final semester classes. I remember like it was yesterday, getting accepted into the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and driving to the school to start my new adventure. Now it's coming to an end in a blink of an eye. Going through my final couple of months at school, I will not take anything for granted and make my last year a memorable one.

1) It's my final semester in college and I am shocked.

2) It's already been four years since I enrolled at UNC Pembroke and the time has come for me to graduate in May.

3) I'm excited for what my future holds and where I will end up in this crazy world. However, to get there it won't be easy, but I am up for the challenge. The only thing I need to do is...

4) Even when I am relaxed, doubt will eventually find its way into my body. At that point, I just have to push myself through it and know that the stress will be worth the outcome. And if that still doesn't work I'll just remember to...

5) and if that still doesn't work I will always live by my mother's words and know that...

6) After a few weeks into the semester and I feel like it's going to be okay, I will feel like I can conquer anything and everything, I realize that....

7) I don't feel stressed and it's smooth sailing from there. However, midterms will kick in and then before you know it, it's finals week and I'm feeling like...

8) and I imagine the rest of the semester going a little something like this....

9) But once I get through finals week and I finally have passed my exams, when May 6th comes around I will say...

10) The day I graduate and look at my diploma and say...

11) because I have earned it and worked hard to obtain what I spent four years in college for. Likewise, when I finally walk across the stage on May 6th and the following day I will say to myself.

The answer will be: now it's time to look for a job and start my life after college.
