Last Day!


Just finished up my last day of classes here at Penn State. Pretty crazy huh?

I thought that I would have a feeling similar to high school where you are nostalgic over your past 4 years and excited for the future but alas this feeling has failed to come to me. I'm pretty sure its because I didn't do anything the last month of high school, and theres that whole "going away to college to find yourself and get out on your own" idea that everyone has in their heads. So did I find myself here at Penn State?

Why thats a good question. Whereas "college" certainly has shaped where I am going in the future, it is the people who are really the ones who shaped who I am. My friends, my family, my professors, the Moroccans, Lion Ambassadors, Engineering Club, all the way back to Orientation Leaders.

It's been one hell of a trip thats for sure. Now a bunch of my friends are moving on to new jobs. Some are stuck looking for these jobs, and I will be back in the fall to start graduate school. In the past 4 years I have learned a metric ton of information about myself, civil engineering, friendship, and the world. But I have a feeling that this is only the tip of an iceberg of knowledge I have yet to touch.
