by Adeola I., Staff Writer The end of every year brings a time of concentrated reflection. With the end of the 2017-2018 academic school year, I am certain that we have all learned something new. Whether that be realizing which relationships to end, which major to switch to, or which campus organizations we want to commit to, we have all left this year different than when we were handed our syllabuses.
All of us will be facing new frontiers. Some of us will change our major, career plans, or intentions. The further I progress through my collegiate career, the more intentional I am about what I commit myself to, including particular courses, organizations, and friendships. I’m slowly beginning to realize that the “real world” is here already. I am already living in it. It does not suddenly fall upon me when I walk across the stage at graduation. Are you in the “real world” yet or are you still pretending you exist in some protected box that people have told you college is? If you are unsure of your answer, it may help to take a step back and begin asking yourself what your intentions are. As we continue on this pursuit of knowledge and skills, I encourage you to keep in mind that these few short years here in college are just as “real” as our lives will be after being handed out diplomas.
