In many ways it is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of the semester.  This week I ask that you reflect on the semester. What were the highs and the lows? What would you want to change & why? What have you learned that you will take with you into the next semester?

This semester has been the best and the worst of my time here at Georgia Southern University. As a Senior, I can say this moment has been long awaited. I have been going to school for three years straight. I’ve had no breaks, no semesters off, more hours than necessary and let me tell you, it hasn’t been easy.

I have taken on quite a load for my last semester. The best part of this semester would have to have been the experience I received for my major and the intelligence I gained from it. These experiences have helped me single out the field I would like to work in to further my career path. The worst would be the work load I’ve had to take on due to the circumstances. I have had multiple 5 to 8 page papers due, three 12 to 15 page papers, two events, multiple group work assignments, a 90 page campaign book, presentation to Moe’s Southwest Grill Corporate, Internship searches, Graduation and more work that I’m sure I’ve put in the back of my mind to never bring up again.

Some of the things I might change would be the fact that I’m graduating in three years. Sometimes I feel as though I didn’t get the experience others did in college. I didn’t party, I didn’t attend many events, I focused on school. I think if I would’ve taken things slower, I would’ve experienced more and met more people, made more connections. Who knows?

What I will take with me is the knowledge that I have gained from hard work and accomplishment. There are so many things that I could look back on to change, but this is the path I chose. I chose it for a reason. I am a powerful, successful woman and I will push myself to reach my full potential. Even if that means sacrifice…
