My Knightlife

I really don’t want to think about this…anytime a conversation is provoked or the idea of graduation is explored, sadness prevails. It is difficult to imagine that four years of college have already gone by. I remember yesterday like it was freshmen move-in day in 2005. I was in line at the gym at 7:45am. I wanted to have first choice of the bed in the room. Now, I return to college three weeks early of freshman move-in as a resident assistant, a student leader who helps prepare students for the future.

For the past year I have contemplated whether or not to do graduate school immediately following college. Hilton Vacation Ownership was on campus last spring and practically offered me a job at graduation. The Atlantic Resort and Spa offered me a job at the end of my internship. The opportunities out there are bountiful, but how often to you have an opportunity to be in college?

As I sit by the fireplace at home, I browse through the Business Week magazine which has recently ranked the MBA programs around the country. It’s the college search all over. It reminds me of the long days that I spent in my guidance counselor’s office browsing through schools trying to make the right choice. I luckily was inspired and astonished the moment after listening to John Lallo from Lynn. I knew this was the perfect match and I would never want to trade it…the campus, the professors, the connections, the friends, the networking, the atmosphere, the EVERYTHING!

…this makes me sad…having to leave behind memories…I am going to postponed this “after college” blog until later…not too much later because then I’ll be behind, but not now…
