Graduation Guide 2014-2015
The time of year where sanity goes to die: finals week. Sleep is harder to come by than an open table at Anschutz. Your blood has turned into coffee.
They've been here for four (or five or six) years. Once finals are over, the seniors, along with graduate students, will walk through the Campanile and down the hill. Their collegiate careers will be finished.
It's been a long year. So much has happened here since August. We've had a masked man on campus protest in classrooms. We've seen President Obama. We've witnessed an 11th-straight Big 12 Championship.
That's what college is about — making friends and forming lasting relationships. Only sometimes, those friends are a few years older than you, and at some point, you have to say goodbye.
As a sophomore, I have a little while before that time, but I know several people who will be tossing their caps on Sunday. And I have no idea what I'm going to do without them.
The only math you care about is the percent you need on your final exam to bump up your grade.
Aside from taking tests and writing papers we're busy attending every basketball game. We're busy with our clubs and organizations. We're busy working long hours so we can afford to pay our rent.
We all deserve a break after finals are finished. Who deserves a break more than anyone else? The seniors.
Here's to the seniors. Congratulations.
You've done great things and you're going off to do even bigger and better things.
You're excited for your friends, as they've achieved their biggest accomplishment thus far, but a little piece of you resents them, ever so slightly, for leaving you behind.
Here's to everyone. We've made it through another year. That's something to be proud of.
