Today I took my history final, which officially ends the summer session for me. And even though I still have another year left at UT, I feel as if my college experience is already over. I think back on the past 4 years and all the good times, bad times, and everything in between. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was starting my freshman year, moving into an apartment with friends. I remember the time I spent as a CS major, and the eventual change to a Japanese major. I think back on the opportunities I had; the ones I didn't take. I think of all the people I've encountered along the way. All the things I've done; all the things I haven't done. And I can't help but wonder how different things could have been. If I could go back and do it all over again, how different would it be? Knowing me, it wouldn't be much different, but who knows. All I know is that even though I only (hopefully) have a year left, things will be different. Pretty much all my friends have now graduated or moved on. As I approach my final year, I can just feel that things are going to be different. I feel different. I feel older, wiser, more mature (although some would argue otherwise). Maybe all of this sounds silly, but I feel the winds of change blowing. This is going to be my year.
