Tomorrow is my last day of classes ever (unless I decide to continue my studies at some point in my life). It's weird. You go to classes every day for seventeen years and finally it's over. That's it. There are finals, sure. But I don't have finals.
With graduation less than two weeks I'm still freaking out. I still don't have a job. And I'm super sad that I have to leave UMass Dartmouth and the friends I've made over the last four years.
I feel like I'm in the final, flashback episode of a TV show that's going off the air. I can't help but think about all the good times, the bad times and the inbetween times. I've learned so many things and changed so much, as have my friends and the other people who I have interacted with over the last four years. I feel like we're the beloved characters on some show that has gone its course, but you still want more.
I reminiss back to moving in my freshman year. I had the roommate that everyone fears they'll get, the one who parties all the time and has a live-in boyfriend. Then, when she breaks up with that boyfriend, has random ya-dudes over all the time.
Then I think about my experiences with my friends and all the adventures we've had over the years. For the good things I think about the movie nights, beach trips, parties, my semester in Washington D.C. and working at The Torch.
For the bad times I think about my slutty roommate, my hermit roommate, all the stressful days and nights and working at The Torch.
I think finishing with The Torch has been the most difficult part. It's one of the few things that's been in my life since I started school here, when I was a freshman. I can't believe that I'll never see my name on the front page again.
In my mind there is this huge montage of these moments going through my mind to all kinds of cheezy going away songs. I feel like there's a new one every day. Some of them aren't even going away songs, they're just catchy tunes that get easily stuck in my head. I can't make them go away.
I know that in two short weeks I won't be a student any more. This show is almost over. Hopefully there's some chance for a successful (or at least entertaining) spin-off.
