Thanks, seniors

I just finished my last final. That's it, I'm done with junior year.

The past couple weeks have been hard, because I've been coming to terms with the fact that I'm almost done with my tenure here at HPU. 

The other day, I was sitting at lunch with a bunch of my senior friends when I realized that next year, I'd be the only person sitting at the table. My senior friends will be graduated, off and living their fabulous real world lives on their own while my peers and I sit through papers and presentations and lectures and exams.

I'm selfish because I want all of them to stay with me for my final year, but I know that it's time for them to move on with their lives. So, I thank the seniors.
