Enjoy it while you sti II can

When I was getting ready to leave for my first year of college four years ago, I remember my cousin telling me to make the most out of my four years in college because they would be the best times of my life.

He had recently graduated from college and said he wished he could go back for another four years.

It seems like yesterday that my cousin said those words to me.

It seems like yesterday I was a freshman at Cabrini. But then, four years seemed like such a long time to me and I felt like college would last forever.

I can remember all the way back to my freshman year when a couple of my friends from the soccer team were getting ready to graduate.

Some of them were telling me they were not ready to ·graduate and all I thought about was how happy I was that I still had three years at Cabrini.

However, four years later, I now find myself in the same position as my cousin was. I am graduating.

While a small part of me is a little excited to get into the working world and try to pave the way to a successful career, I have to admit that I'm not ready to leave Cabrini.

Not ready to leave the soccer team and my coach. Not ready to leave House seven. Not ready to leave Loquitur. Not ready to leave my friends. Not ready to leave my roommate. Not ready to leave my girlfriend.

The list could go on and on and on.

Although I know my girlfriend and I will still be together and I will stay in touch with my friends, I cannot escape the feeling that my life will change forever.

I have had so many great memories at Cabrini that 11 1s impossible to put them into words.

Although I have worked extremely hard at Cabrini, I have enjoyed each year.

It is hard for me to imagine that when May 18 comes around I will no longer have another year of college to look forward to.

Instead of being a Cabrini student, I will become a Cabrini alumnus.

When August rolls around this summer, I think that is when it will really hit me.

My two sisters will be getting

ready to go back to college and the only thing I will do is look at them with envy. Instead of getting ready for soccer camp, I will be getting ready for work the next day.

I will tell my two sisters to enjoy their time in college to the fullest,just as my cousin told me. Because before you know it, it is over.

College can be the best four years of your life.

It is your time to live life to the fullest before entering the working world.

In college, you can skip classes for the day and sleep in, but once you get to the working world that option is no longer available.

If I could offer underclassmen a piece of advice, it would be to enjoy their years at Cabrini to the fullest because they will be over before you know it.

I hoped my time at Cabrini would never end, but I know in 24 days my time will come to an end.

I will always have memories to look back on, but I know my life will drastically change.

I am not happy about this, but that is how life is. Enjoy your time at Cabrini. I know I did.
