Senior year .. the beginning of the end
Enjoying my tiger stripe ice cream freshman year
Campus is buzzing with life and activity. Freshmen wonder with maps in hand towing bags from the bookstore, trying to navigate the layout of the campus. Parents aren’t far behind comparing this campus to the other ones visited nodding that their child indeed made the right choice. After attending a free welcome back show earlier tonight (The Spill Canvas), I realized that this is the infamous “Senior year.” I have only one year left in college after spending the last three years navigating the system. It’s been a crazy road. First I’m a freshman coming in from Lawrence to attend the rival school. It’s the first year I’m living away from my parents, and I love it. College is for me.
Sophomore year I become more involved in campus life, but what is really exciting is to have our own apartment. I feel great organizing my own space and so independent as I cook for myself. I start to be really involved in the journalism school reporting for various news outlets.
Junior year we move again to a new apartment, but this is when I really find a home working for KBIA. It’s a life changing experience when I work at MSN in London and travel around Europe to be followed up by working and living in Denver.
This year :___________
This is ready to be filled in by new experiences and adventures. School hasn’t started, but I’m ready to say yes to all experiences. I’m searching for a new job and excited to take Screenwriting, Convergence Capstone, Psychology of Gender and Politics of the South. I feel like these classes are what college is all about. This is the time to really experience everything that I’ve missed out in college so far. And I only have one year to do it.
