You could take the title of this article in two directions, at first. Either I\u2019m talking about the last semester of this academic year, or I\u2019m talking about my last semester in my college career. The first option would be strange, because \u201cStarting the Second Semester\u201d would be a better title, so the second option is my unfortunate truth.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m hurtling towards the end, and not entirely comfortable doing it.<\/p>\n
This last semester is plagued with uncertainties: people keep asking me what I\u2019m going to do after graduation, or where I\u2019m going to live, or whether or not I\u2019m going to get married so I don\u2019t have to live in sin (shoutout to Nana). Theoretically, I have answers to those questions, because I\u2019m doing my job training right now in Student Teaching and I\u2019m going to have job offers shortly.<\/p>\n
However, I\u2019m still not ready to let go of college. I want to hang out with my friends until the sun rises, and I want to eat plain pasta made in a dorm kitchen, and I want to go on adventures that lead to the Dollar Store Market, or get lost because somewhere between Point A and Point B the GPS signal was lost but I was determined to find the top of the mountain.
\nThe last semester has started for us seniors.
\nGood luck to all of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
