Junior Year is Over - - How Can this be True!?

Now that I am finished with finals and a very long but exciting graduation weekend, I can sit back and reflect on the end of the term!

Finals week went really well! I did a lot of studying! I was so focused on studying that I didn't really have time to do much of anything else. I planned my finals week out perfectly so that each class was allotted enough study time. In the end it really paid off because I finished the term with a 4.0 and a 3.95 for the entire school year!
As I finished up my last final, I literally could not believe that I had just completed three full years of college. I immediately texted my mom and dad saying "holy crap I'm a senior in college!" this was pretty much the way that I felt and the best way I could describe it! I am a little overwhelmed because I really do not want to be a senior because that means I am one step closer to leaving the 'Hurst. For me, being a senior will just give me even more of a reason to follow Mercyhurst's motto of "Carpe Diem" - Seize the Day!

This past weekend was graduation weekend! Congratulations to all of the seniors on your wonderful accomplishments! Graduation weekend was filled with so many fun events - I was able to participate in a few because the Ambassadors worked at all of them. On Friday we were greeters for the awards dinner, Saturday was the adult and graduate graduation followed by an alumni reception and the ROTC ceremony. Finally, Sunday was the end with graduation day. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather that allowed for our graduates to have a sunny walk from the Avalon Hotel to the Tullio Arena in downtown Erie for the ceremony.


Now that school is over and so is graduation, I have a few days filled with relaxation before my summer job starts up! Until then - Carpe Diem!
