My Last 'First'

Time flies so fast. I can still remember my very first day in college. I was clueless, nervous, trying to gain some confidence. Everybody's a total stranger for me. I didn't know what to expect. I was in a perfect, mild culture shock. But now, I try to look at myself in the mirror. It's been three years ago. And it all came down to my last 'first'. My last first day of school.

Since it's already my senior year in college, this is my last chance of feeling the same way what the undergrad students are feeling, too. Maybe I felt it the least. The feeling of "hurray!-this-is-my-last-year-here" was primarily governing my mind. I'm fully excited to see my Paulinian friends again, yet I see same bunch of faces.

Now I know what to expect at this moment. Academic papers, research, internship, laboratory, pressure. But I'm only aiming for this one - GRADUATION!
