Last January, I wrote a post talking about how surreal being within a year of graduation was. This past week was the first of my last semester in University as an undergraduate. While last semester left me in a bit of a dream, this semester is completely different.
I am taking my final courses, and all of them are challenging and demanding- there is no time to daydream about being done. My classes are project-heavy and are requiring more of me than I have at times. It is the culmination of my time at University, and it's only fitting that this semester will test me.
As diamonds can only form under extreme pressure, it is my dearest hope that at the end of this semester and as my undergraduate career closes I will emerge shining radiantly, having overcome the pressures and trials I do not yet see.
