As my final year as an Aztec approaches, I can’t help but ask myself how I’m going to make my final year the most memorable year yet.
I’m afraid of moving on, afraid of change and most
definitely afraid of failure. I’m scared of moving onto the “real world”, not
landing a job right after college, but most importantly I’m scared of not
making the most of my undergrad years. I want to hold onto the late night
Trujillo runs, sorority socials and the carefree lifestyle.
I came into college thinking that I would never meet anyone
as amazing + adventurous as my high school friends. It never occurred to me
that I would meet my best friends in college, because I thought I already had
them. I was obviously wrong. The images captured with my high school friends
were slowly replaced with new memories from college. I have met my best friends
in college (my future bridesmaids will probably be from college). I was lucky
enough to have been surrounded by many young + inspirational leaders.

There isn’t a doubt in my mind that my four years at San
Diego State University will be the greatest four years of my life. So far,
these past three years have been amazing. I don’t want to leave; I want to stay
here forever… only if I could.
Although senior year should be all business, I can’t spend
my final year behind a textbook. I have promised myself that I would take every
opportunity given to play. I will have fun and enjoy it. I will go on that
crazy spring break trip to Mexico and say yes to a party invite even if I have
an 8:00 am exam the next day.
Don’t get me wrong my academics come first, after all that
is why I came to college in the first place. But no one remembers the days they
spent studying late in the library, we remember the late night Trujillo runs
and long beach days with the girls.
As terrified as I am to enter the real world I won’t let my
worries of not finding a job, graduating in time and with honors come between
enjoying my last and final year as an Aztec. I’ll update my resume + LinkedIn
page religiously. I’ll maintain my 3.0+ GPA all while having the time of my
life with my fellow Aztecs and my lovely Delta Zeta sisters.
Here’s to my final year as an Aztec, but even then I’ll be
an Aztec for Life.
