Is there a light at the end of this tunnel towards graduation?

 

"Sometimes just looking up and seeing the light is enough."

It is finally spring time! As I walk across campus I can just feel that spring is in the air. The weather is getting warmer. Students are outside grilling by the apartments, while listening to music with their friends. Others gather around the volleyball court, or find a picnic table to sit at and do some homework. It’s a wonderful time of the year! The whole campus is coming alive, as the trees and grass begin to gain their colors back. What is there not to love about the spring time? Usually my response would be nothing; I love everything about this time of the year. However, this year things are different. There is a little over one month till graduation and there is so much stuff to do and figure out. The word “application” seems to come up in almost every conversation. I can’t seem to escape the inevitable question “What are you doing after college?”  

Seriously, what am I doing after graduation? Well I know I want to be a teacher that’s not what troubles me about that question. It’s where will I teach at? What grade?  Will I stay in Maryland, or am I going back home to Pennsylvania? Where will I live? It’s almost impossible to find the answers to those small detailed questions at this point in time. All I can do is wait, wait, and wait. I keep telling myself that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Every senior faces these big decisions right before graduation. To all graduating seniors, you’re not alone! We have almost reached the light! Who’s ready for graduation!?
