I plan on graduating in May and I just realized something: I'm actually going to miss college.
Today was a fantastic day. A surprisingly interesting class (the history of the English language fascinates me more and more each day), a pleasant conversation with a favorite professor (I learned that its okay to not like T.S. Eliot because she doesn't either), a warm cup of pumpkin pie and gingerbread coffee put a nice smile on my face. It was just one of those perfectly easy college afternoons.
And soon that will all be over. It feels bittersweet. I wouldn't mind staying here if I could hang out, take some easy classes for free and not pay any additional tuition fees...but college is not free and I'm not staying another year just for fun.
No matter how much I don't really want to leave, I can't stay here. But I can always come back for Homecoming as a proud member of the alumni.
