This has been a crazy semester, but definitely one of the best. I feel a mix of emotions now that it’s winding down. (I still have a few papers to finalize and submit… and, of course, getting grades back.) I can’t believe that after this, I only have a semester left of college. I’m sorry, what??? It feels like I was just failing out of Accounting 101. (Oh goodness, still wondering how I survived that!) And now here I am making plans for the future. My “Real World Future.”
Let’s see.
I took five classes! Four of which were amazing, and one which was worse than pulling teeth. I loved my professors this semester.
This was the first semester of college without coxing for the rowing team. To be honest, I loved the sport and had many good times. I met my closest Georgetown friends on the team. I had amazing opportunities, like racing at Henley with four amazing guys. Without crew in my schedule though, I had so much more time to focus on myself, my schoolwork, and my blogging/magazine.
Speaking of that, I have had these ridiculously amazing opportunities this semester with regards to my blog and working on the magazine. I’ve met incredible people, online, on the phone, and in person. I feel like this is really really really crazy but amazing at the same time.
I also was a teaching assistant for my favorite class from last semester. Can I tell you how much fun I had??? The professor is ridiculous and over the top, but so so so good at what he does. (He’s also extremely supportive… even when you have a full fledged panic attack in the middle of the class… happened.) I definitely signed up to TA only because I wanted the chance to get to take the class over again! The students in the class are so driven and motivated and I love surrounding myself with those types of people. They make me better. I can’t even put into words how much this class has changed me.
One weird thing about being a senior is that most “friend groups” are established, and it can feel like you can’t make any new friends. (Especially when your best friend graduates and decides to move to England.) However, I’ve met some pretty amazing friends through my classes. I’m so happy about that.
I am excited for Christmas break, but I’m also looking forward to beginning my last semester as a college student!
How did your semesters go?

My first semester of university has gone pretty good! Nothing like i expected, had a few melt downs… I;m excited for christmas break but i still have four exams before i get to go home! 🙁
I'm glad that your semester went well! My last final is tomorrow.
Good luck on your papers! I'm done on Friday. I'm graduating next semester too and seriously cannot believe it. Trying to devise a plan to make college last forever……
My semester has been great. Good luck on your papers!
yay for almost graduating! I know exactly what you mean about the friend groups. I broke up with my entire college career boyfriend the last semester of college, and in order for me to move on I had to drop that entire group of friends. It is def. hard to find a new "nitch" after you have had one your entire college career. Glad you came out on top!
This is definitely a scary time but enjoy every second of it. Sometimes I would give everyting to go back to my senior year. It sounds like you have some amazing opportunities coming your way 🙂 Good luck on your papers!
Isn't it a little surreal that we will be entering our last semester?! I don't want it to end…but then again I think I'm ready for the real world! My last exam is on Thursday and I can't wait for break! Good luck with all of your stuff 🙂
Hello colege prep! I am tres happy to hvae discovered your blog! Loving all the red picks. Have tried to sign up to 'follow' your blog on my news feed thng but can't seem to get the follow icon to work (sorry I am 60% PC illiterate)! Any ideas?
I can't believe how fast the semester has gone by – but it sounds like you have a great year! All I have left is a final project, and an exam, then I get to go home on Thursday. Hope you have a good break!
Love the idea of a semester review, I might have to do one too =]
Sounds like a great semester! I didn't realize you went to Henley; so incredibly jealous!!
Congrats on making to your last semester. Enjoy it!
