Senior year thoughts: the journey is almost over

I came to college expecting nothing and I am leaving with so much

471

I am right in the middle of my senior year of and I feel so excited I am excited to close this chapter of my life I am just happy to see what the future brings. Life may not be perfect but I'm happy and it's my senior and that is what matters. I am so thankful to God for the life He's given and I am can't thank God enough for life and for just the everyday small blessings.I went into my senior year of college with the intention to be happy and have the best senior year. I am so thankful to have a do over from my disastrous senior year and graduation. I don't want to sound repetitive or seem like I am stuck on a moment but I am so thankful to have my senior year of college and be able to have the do over I feel like I need. I've always wanted to have the senior year of my dreams. My senior year of high school was almost perfect up to the end of the year. However towards the end things began to derail and I lost the chance to have my dream summer and to close my senior year and the chapter of high school in my life. But I am so thankful for second chances college has been the second chance I needed. Everything I wasn't able to do in high school I got to do in college. In the big picture of my life I want to look back and know my last year of college was memorable and that I was able to close the book fully. I always regret not being to close my high school chapter on my terms I didn't get to do it my way. For me being able to control my own story is of very high importance. I always want to finish things on my terms. It may not always be possible but I will always try my best do things my way. To have closure in my way. I want to close the book on college my own way and have the full closure and have all the experiences I want. I never went into college expecting anything I didn't think of it as a do over for high school but as I am nearly complete with my journey in college I realize that college was a blessing for me and it was meant to be a do over for me and the opportunity for me to be my best self and live my best life. Everything that happened, was for a reason my whole journey in college has been for a reason. As cliche as it sounds I can speak that my life and journey in college is a testament to the cliche quote that "everything happens for a reason". My whole journey in college has been like a whirlwind but in a good way. I went in expecting nothing and I feel I am leaving STAC with so much.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
