It's the Beginning of the End
This past weekend, although a blur because of the large amount of events that went on, marked the beginning of the end of my college career. While anticipating this weekend, I thought my biggest concern would be making it through, however, the greatest challenge ended up being holding back tears.
The weekend kicked off with my last Mr. SHU. This event is put on every year by the junior class and is basically a spoof on the Miss America Pageant. The show was hysterical and very well put together, but I couldn't help but think back to the prior year when I was backstage making the event a success.
Saturday morning came way too quickly with my Business Honor Society Induction followed shortly there after by my final dance recital. Being on stage brought upon one of the greatest rushes; instantly making me euphoric! On the other hand, once the final beat sounded over the loud speaker and I exited the stage, I realized that I will never have such an opportunity again.
Sunday evening was the Student Government Installation Dinner. Invited this year for the recognition of my efforts over the past three years, rather than being installed into a new position, brought upon the realization once again that my time at SHU was dwindling. While listening to the speech given by my class president, I finally broke down.
Tears quickly filled my eyes as I thought back to all the fun I had had these past 4 years, all the friends that became family, all of the events I had partaken in and all the organizations I had joined. It is all of those things that made my time at SHU so special, as well as memorable. More importantly, it was all of those things that made not crying this weekend so much of a challenge L
Outside the last senior pub night!
