I Love Being a Senior
There is no doubt about it, I have had the time of my life the last 3 years here at JMU, but this senior year so far has taken the cake. This being my last year, I have developed an even greater appreciation for this incredible institution. And lately I have honestly gotten a little sentimental about it. There is very little that I don't love at this school. I enjoy my working relationship with professors - in fact, in the Geography program there was a scheduled happy hour with the professors at one of the more popular local restaurants this past Friday - and I enjoy the classes I attend, but most of all I love the people here.
I love how I can walk down any sidewalk and smile at any person that walks right by me and know that they will smile back. The people that I have met are absolutely incredible. I've been taking the opportunities to spend as much time as possible with these people. It just kills me to think that I will no longer have the opportunity to live within a 5 mile radius of my peers and have the chances to hang out with them at any time. My favorite thing to do in the town of Harrisonburg, JMU campus included, is not to go out, but to be on campus and run into many of the people that make JMU so great. Just hanging out talking, catching up since the last time we met, those are the moments that I like the best. It's easy to forget too, with so much to do - classes, work, studying, sleeping, homework, clubs and activities - that sometimes it just occurs to me how great it is to have so many friends here at JMU.
This place is special, and everyday I'm just going to try to appreciate it more. Sorry for the short entry today, but there is plenty of time to talk about classes. Well a year at least, that I'm not going to take for granted.
