Dear Class of 2017,

We are doing it!

This is it, the last semester of our undergraduate career.

Over the past semester, we may have met some awesome people or we may have gotten closer to friends that we have made over the years, and that, I suspect won't change. But it is exciting to enter into this next chapter of our senior year! At least for me, it is!

Over the next few weeks, there will be more celebrations, more milestones, and time to say our final thank-yous and good-byes. The next few years will be rough, but they will be filled with memories that we will make during the path to graduation. The finish line is in our sights and it is our time to shine and in just under 130 days, we will be walking across the stage to enter into the next chapter of our world.

We will get our degrees, flip our tassels, and throw our caps! We'll be dressed in our gowns and our families will be there taking pictures and, quite possibly, crying. This will be our moment! This will be our time!
