It is quite a reality check to think that four years of school can go by so quickly, but it is true. I remember checking in for freshman year move-in like it was yesterday; walking in and being greeted by former President Michael Alexander, then getting the keys to my room and truly becoming a Lasell student.
Now, I am a senior and that day has long passed. Realizing that I am a senior has been challenging, but I am trying to be optimistic about it. I have to remember that being comfortable for too long can be a burden in and of itself, so I have to keep my eyes set on the future. Although I am excited about my future, I will be leaving an important place in my journey, and that makes me sad.
Thinking about my time at Lasell has brought back a lot of great memories that I am forever grateful to have experienced. From Woodland Hall flooding on my freshman move-in day to my 22nd birthday party this year, I have been blessed to call Lasell my home for the last four years, and it is
quite unfathomable that my time here is almost done. I have been able to become a peer mentor, a student leader, the opinions editor for this paper, and so much more, because Lasell allows its students to shoot for the stars and do things that are of interest, guiding me to where I am now.
Four years, thirty-six classes and counting, many memories, and one Lasell. Lasell has graced me with so many opportunities to find my passions, interests, and people who will be in my life forever, and I am incredibly grateful for it. My four years at Lasell have been amazing, even with all the obstacles and hurdles that I faced, and will face. I was able to face these problems head-on thanks to the guidance and mentorship I received from the Lasell faculty and the people I chose to surround myself with.
Now, as a senior, I have to take everything I have learned and been through to build my professional resume so that I can make connections with people and find my niche in the social sciences sector. Lasell has taught me more about myself and my abilities than I can even describe, and
it will truly be a place that I miss once I graduate in May.
