The End.

So as most of you know I’m graduating from college exactly one month from today. On Monday I found out that I got accepted into the University of Central Oklahoma’s Dietetic Program. This is a semi-big accomplishment because they only accept around 10 people every year. I’m really excited for everything the future holds. I’m taking that next big step in reaching my future goals. I’m excited for the new friends I’m going to make, for finally getting to live in a city where there is a mall (even though I will be broke), and for getting to live only 25 minutes away from my boyfriend instead of an hour and a half. I’m also very excited to get to start my rotations at the hospital and clinics I will be at. It’s going to be really exciting to finally get some hands on experience. However leaving Stillwater is definitely a bittersweet feeling. Whenever I found out I got into UCO I was smiling and tearing up at the same time.  Everyone who goes to college here always says they miss Stillwater whenever they leave, but I never knew how much I would miss it until I found I was leaving.

Stillwater has been my home for the past 4 years now. Whenever I first moved here I hated this place, it defiantly took a few months to get used. But in the 4 short years I’ve been here I have really grown to love this town.  I’ve made so many new friends and great memories here, it feels like I’m leaving a little piece of me behind. Everyone knew that UCO was my first choice school, but I guess deep down I was kind of hoping my time at Oklahoma State wouldn’t really have to end yet.  But I guess we all have to leave sometime. As I start to prepare myself for making the transition from student to alumni I can’t get off my mind all the things I’m going to miss about being here. It’s like being a senior in high school all over again. I know everyone has their special things they love about this place, but here is what I am going to miss about Stillwater.

I’m going to miss……

Joe’s on Thursday, the Cupid Shuffle, and the big girls in their Tweety Bird shirts and sweat pants.

The Cricket after home Football games.

Coney Island at 1:30 in the morning.

Case Studies on Tuesdays.

Game Nights on Wednesdays.

Limey’s on my best friends birthday.

Hearing Sweet Caroline and the Fight Song at closing time.

Living 5 steps away from Madison.

Hearing the bouncer at The Penny  say “We have the same birthday!” every time I walk in.

Having classes with Carol Jarrett, one of my favorite professors ever.

Hearing the Alma Mater at 12:00 p.m.

All the girls I have met here that our now my best friends.

Waiting on Nikki to find something to wear (yes I will actually miss that)

Having free access to the Colvin.

Well those are just some of the big things I will miss. If you’re graduating this year what are you going to miss? If you’ve already graduated what do you miss the most?
