A Thank You Letter To Stetson University
www.collegeapps.about.com

Dear Stetson,

I have to say it is very a bittersweet time for me right now. In just a few short weeks I’ll take my last final and my chapter at this wonderful school will be closed. I’m so proud to finally get my degree, that piece of paper showing that all my hard work and sleepless nights were worth it, but I’m sad to say goodbye. Thank you Stetson for becoming my second home, even if it was for just the short time of two years.

I went to a few other schools before finally settling on Stetson, with my only regret that I didn’t discover it sooner. Looking back five semesters just wasn’t enough time to enjoy all Stetson has to offer. I’ll miss the walks through palm court and sitting on the green. I’ll miss the sprinklers going off at the most inconvenient times as I run to class to not be late. I’ll miss grabbing late night food and caffeine with friends at the coffee shop. I’ll even miss the mile walk I had to take to and from class everyday while living at Stetson Cove.

Thank you to the awesome friends I made. My time at Stetson has been so great because of all the amazing people I have had the opportunity to meet. I’ve made some life long friends at Stetson and I am so grateful for all the fun times and those drunken nights. Stetson made the last two years of my college experience be some of the best times in my life.

Thank you to the Lynn Business Center, my main hub and home at Stetson. I had some of my best laughs and most stressful breakdowns inside those walls. I learned more than I ever thought I was capable of in this building and discovered my true passion was indeed in business. It is because of the great professors I had and the opportunities presented to me at the LBC that I am graduating with the skills I need to succeed.

Thank you to the town of DeLand, you have truly shown me what southern hospitality really is all about. Thank you for the endless cups of sweet tea from all the local restaurants and the huge cups of coffee at Boston Coffeehouse. Thank you to Da Vinci’s, the Abbey and Brickhouse for being my Friday and Saturday night hang out spots. Thank you for showing a northern girl just how charming the south and Florida can be.

So thank you for everything Stetson. For the unforgettable memories, the laughs, the late night cries, the friendships and most importantly, the great education. I’m so glad I found a second home here in DeLand, and I’ll see you in May at graduation.

Sincerely,

A Soon To Be Graduate

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
