Well, it's the beginning of the end.

I had my last classes of undergrad a few days ago, including my last lesson with my professor ever. I didn't want to leave, but he assured me that I'll see him again. I saw some of my favorite studiomates for the last time yesterday. It's crazy how it's just... all ending like this.

I'm going to be on campus until commencement, so I plan on hanging out with my friends for the last time until then. Some. of them are planning a getaway, while others are going to a movie night one night. Also, somewhat related, but I finally got the nose piercing I've wanted for about a year now! I went with another friend, and she got her second lobes pierced. I'm still recovering, which might be why my typing feels a little weird at the moment. I'm crossing off all the bucket-list things I've been wanting to do before I graduate.

But yeah, back to the point of things ending. It's crazy how stuff in real life ends a lot less... dramatically? I think that's the word. I think the reason this feels odd to me is because the last time big life changes happened for me, COVID happened. So, everything not only ended with a bigger emphasis, but there was more time to process that things were over, or going to be over. It's weird because we're not really going through something like that this time, so things are ending so much faster. At least it feels that way. I don't know, it's just odd.

I am not going to let go of my studiomates though. I have already talked about finding a time to come back to campus to visit, or hang out with friends that live closeby to where I'll be for grad school.

Speaking of grad school, I've decided that I'm going to be in the city! In all honesty, I think I'm going to lowkey hate it, but being there for two years shouldn't suck too bad. Plus, it's a really good place to make a lot of connections, so I can hopefully get a job somewhere not in the city. The school/program I am excited for! I've wanted to do music technology for a while, and I'm psyched to be able to do a deep dive into it for two years! It'll make up for the location for sure.

Again, everything is coming to a close, and as sad as I am right now, I know this won't be the end. It's just another chapter in my life, one I've been looking forward to!
