Bitter Sweet Goodbye

I never imagined that this day would actually come. I knew that it was near, but it always seemed way too far to even think about it. As I stood there, filling out the form, I flashed back to the last four year of my life here. I recalled all the late nights, the early mornings, the friends I made, the friends I kept, the friends who drifted away, the classes that I loved, the classes that I didn't remember, the professors who talked about life, the professors who talked about numbers and those who talked about nothing, the simple days, the hardest days, the best days and the worst. They all happened here and now that I was ordering the uniform that signifies the end of it all I thought, "Am I ready for this to be over?" No. Absolutely not.

It's black with a beautiful burgundy tassel. My cap and gown, gives me the greatest feeling of pride, yet brings panic to my body. I'm ready. I'm not ready. I am. I'm not. With just a few months remaining, my life as I know it will truly change this time.
