April 2013


Six weeks to go! The transition from the undergraduate world to “real life” might be the most predictable major life change you’ll ever have. I recommend that you take some time this week to break routine and think about how you want to go out. Warning: clichés and mixed metaphors ahead.
Examples of home stretch strategies:
· Leave it all on the field to be the best scholar you can be before crossing the finish line (recommended if you have regrets about your Trinity academic productivity and want to stand taller at graduation)
· Smell some roses (recommended if you’ve been grinding hard for four years and have well-earned postgrad bird in hand)
· Rehearse living a healthy life of balance and moderation (yeah, right)

With only six weeks to go until your glorious graduation, do you feel yourself coming down with a serious case of senioritis? I know it's difficult not to focus on the future right now and it's right to do so, but don't forget the present. These last few weeks are a great opportunity to revel in the friendships you've made at Trinity. The men and women who have become your trusted friends are likely to always have a special place in your heart. My TU friends are still some of my closest. We've shared career ups and downs, been there for each others' weddings, babies' births and sadly, even a funeral. We share a bond that no other friendships I formed before or after Trinity can share. Enjoy this special time and the people who have made it so. You'll never pass this way again.
