The Saint Rose Chronicle

Issue date: 1/20/10 Section: Opinion

I guess what I'm trying to say is sooner than later, most of us, minus those lucky ones that get to continue living in the nonchalant college environment via graduate school, are going to leave the comforts of college life. Naps at one in the afternoon, late night parties with delicious pizza within five minutes walking distance, and most importantly the friends we've made here. And as life would make it, some we've stayed close with more than others. But we've been here for four years and a lot happens in that time period. Growing as a person, finding strengths you didn't know you had, as well as finding people who fit into the lifestyle you've made for yourself. That is the most beneficial gift I will take away from Saint Rose, besides my diploma of course.

I've met people here during my years that I will take with me forever, although I know I'll stay closer with some than others, that's okay, because the good will always live on. I know however many years down the road something will happen and I'll be reminded of one night out with the girls involving some sort of shenanigans and I'll laugh to myself, because I know when I was in college I truly had an excellent time, but will you be able to say the same?
