This semester is my last semester in college and to explain everything that has been going on would take me hours to write. There are a few big things that I am going to talk about such as spring break, moving on, job hunting, classes, and relocating for love.
Moving on...
It is hard to believe that four years of school as come and gone. Everyone always said how fast it would go but I never seemed to believe them. There isn't one part of my college experience I regret. I had fun, got my work done, and made friends that will be in my life for forever. It is crazy to think that I won't see these people everyday and I won't only have class til noon and then have nothing to do but my homework. I am going to miss this lifestyle, Charleston, and all of my friends but it is time to move on. I am getting to that period in my life where I am ready to take the next step and move on with my life outside of college.
Spring Break:
Spring break is something I have participated in the past three years of school the first year my mom, sister, and me went to Mexico and relaxed for five days,the third year of school I went to Italy through the FCS department and took classes. Also when I went to Italy two of my Roommates went but those were the only people I knew. Since I had not done a spring break trip with all of my girl friends I thought it would be a great idea to go my senior year as one last hurrah. We booked our trip in October and planned it from Saturday to Saturday. As the semester went on I realized that I was a little nervous about going with 12 girls on a trip for 7 days. When we got to the airport I realized that the traveling was going to be the hardest part because everyone was trying to take charge and getting frustrated with each other. Other than the traveling part we all had a great time together got along great and even got a good tan. When we got home my mom asked me how it was and I told her it was a trip I will always remember with my friends from college but I was glad I only did it once.
Job Hunting:
Job hunting began early this semester because I did not want to graduate without a job. I began
applying for anything that seemed interesting and that might pay well I figured it was work a shot. I had two interviews with Prudential and end up not liking the job they were offering me. As well as they gave me an assignment to list 200 people that I know to put into their system before I even began working for them. I thought this was crazy and was definitely not doing it. I also had an interview with ADM and they then called me back about 2 weeks later to tell me they filled the position internally. I also had an interview with Enterprise for the management training program. After none of these job interview went through I began to get very frustrated and my Dad told be to just let things fall into place.
Relocating for Love:
I got this title from one of the MTV documentaries and thought it was clever. After having all of these interviews and nothing working out Robert (my boyfriend of 6 years) got a job with a grain company called DeBruce. He asked me if I would go with him and I gave it a couple of weeks to decide what I really wanted not what he wanted me to do or my parents wanted me to do. I came to the decision that I wanted to go with him. The company that he is working for is not telling us where we are going to be located until April 19th. So until then I am on stand still for looking for a job and for finding us an apartment. This is a really big step in our relationship but I am comfortable with where we are at and excited for our new adventure together.

I have five classes this semester and find myself wishing I had less. This semester has been a lot of work with classes that have a lot of group work. At the beginning of the semester I was very motivated to finish strong for my last semester of collage but now as it is all start to wind down I am beginning to get senioritis. I have no desire to do any of the work anymore but I know that the sooner I get it finished the sooner I will be done. I can't wait to not have all of the homework, test, and papers to do but I am going to miss the lifestyle too. Also a lot of my teacher are loading on the work before the end of the semester and it is only stressing me out. I am trying to take care of things before we find out where we are going to be leaving so that once we find out I am not stressing about school as much too.
The end is bittersweet... I am so excited to get my life after college start and I know there are only good things to come but I am also sad to be leaving the life and the friends I have known for four years.
