Incredibly though, as my undergraduate career began to wind down, I wondered where the time went. Granted, I made it through Penn State in only 3 years, but it seemed that I hadn't experienced everything college had to offer. About that time I realized that college, and life in general, was filled with opportunities. It's just a matter of pursuing them. My sister's death three years later reaffirmed that notion for me.
Life is too short, so pursue every experience available.
And like life, college is whatever you make of it. What was worse was that I knew I would have to prove myself all over again after college. And in my own way I did, by seizing the opportunities that presented themselves. College, put simply, was The Daily Collegian, Penn State's independent student newspaper. The Collegian provided many opportunities, and I utilized most of them.
