It strikes me as extremely ironic that these emotions that I am feeling about my graduation and leaving GSU are almost identical to the ones that I felt when I arrived here. I was scared, excited and sad all at the same time. I didn't think that I would ever make it here for four years. I thought that I would miss my family and friends back home in Marietta. I did miss them, of course, but I found a new home here and friends that I'll have for life.
College is an amazing time in a person's life.
We are still young, yet, to younger students, we seem old. We are adults, yet, to our parents, we are still children. It is a time of limbo between adulthood and childhood, a time where we can take on responsiblities, but still remain somewhat irresponsible. I have been in school for 17 years of my life now. It's almost unbeliveable that I will soon take my last test, do my last bit of homework and call myself a student for the last time.
