Decent Essays
Lately the days feel like they are combining together. I cannot keep up with them. Next week is the week of finals, and I am so ready for them. I know I can do it. In all of my classes I am passing. Robin, my roommate, is wanting to throw a party after we graduate to celebrate our wonderful success in completing college. I want her to throw a party, but I want it to be a small party with just a few of our closest friends. Robin and I have become quite close throughout these past four years. Our freshman year we shared a dorm, but our last three years of college we moved into an apartment. Robin and I moved into an apartment our sophomore year, and gladly I can say this was the best decision we have made. After college, we are still planning

    I remember the buzzing of my phone from my mom, telling me I must do well, the feeling of stress as assignments seem to stack more and more around me, the pre-buzzing of the teachers saying finals week was coming up. I passed my finals but not by working myself halfway to death every day. No, rather I stayed calm and worked on my finals, and not once did I panic about them.

    I remember the day when I had the thought that would from that day on never fail to amaze me. I remember walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago with the smell of Garrett Popcorn and sewage roaming the air. I remember seeing businessmen and business women making their way to work rolling their briefcases down the street. I remember the massive amount of tourists, including myself, stopping every five feet to take pictures of the beautiful sights of the city. I remember thinking to myself, “Why can’t these people learn how to walk in a polite and organized fashion?”…
