It has been over a month since I graduated from Bucky. I still can't believe I graduated college. These past four years has been quite an experience. I remember first stepping foot into my dorm and on campus. I can say that in the beginning I hated Bucknell. I went from living in the city with lots of friends to living in the middle of nowhere (a small town) with no friends and the “it” spot was hanging out at Walmart. Then I met some wonderful friends, who changed my thoughts about Bucknell. These friends gave me memories I will forever cherish and laugh it. I will forever remember + that Thursday night / Friday morning at 1am when Joe and Gibran decided that we needed to get some White Castle in NJ. 7 – 8 of us crammed into one little car. Got pulled over by a cop and ticketed for speeding (YES, we were excited for White Castle!) and NOT for having 8 people in a 5 passenger car. Got to White Castle at 3am. Ate until 5am. Drove back to Bucknell by 7:30 / 8. Went to class. FYI: White Castle is open 24/7. + that a few days after our excursion, Gibran told us he had a pop quiz when he got to that class. “I got my quiz back. For multiple choice, it said circled one. I circle all 4 answers in one circle. For what is Aristotle’s philosophy, I wrote Spanish.” It was one of those quizzes you see
online for ridiculous answers. + that Kirstin, Ashley and I spent over $400bucks a semester going to La Casa for spaghetti and Zelda’s for mango smoothies during Girl’s Night. + that Kristy scared the living crap out of me in the house. My entire house came running out to see if I was alive, and according to Joe, my scream sounded like “one of those screams you hear in a very scary movie before she gets killed.” I never knew I could scream like that until Kristy. + that I tried playing tennis with Wayne, but it failed miserably. + living in the gateways with ALL of my friends. We totally owned Vidingoff. + Manly Mondays with my roommates…an occasion where we ate manly foods such as steak and we love our steak. + Putting up that stripper pole in the middle of our gateway living room.
+ Playing bball with my friends
+ Senior Week
It has been great at Bucknell. Every summer I looked forward going back because I knew where I was going to be - at Bucknell taking classes. It was my safety net for the last few years. I’m going to miss Bucknell and the small town of Lewisburg. Who knew I would be so fond of small towns. Heh.
So what’s next? I’m not sure. I have plans and back up plans, but in this economy who knows what will happen. I don't think nervous. I'm not sure how to describe this feeling. Perhaps I'm not nervous because there are many opportunities out there, especially since I'm applying for jobs in the DC and Philly area? Maybe I'm excited? I don't know. I'm comfortable with not knowing where I'm going but knowing I will end up somewhere.
