Over and Out.

Oh, finals week.  A time when I always seem to find myself reflecting on the past 9 months.  Well, this will be my final finals week report, because I am officially moving on from the Ohio State University.  In just one week, I will be an OSU alum.  Time flies.

Well, I am happy to report, as always, I've learned this year.  I learned a lot from my study abroad in Ecuador, and of course from my time in the U.S. too.  I've had great times with friends and made amazing memories.  I'm going to really miss everyone after I graduate and we all start moving on and living our separate lives.  I think that will be somewhat of a hard transition, but only time will tell!

I've been thinking lately about the significance of this place in my life.  Right now, it is so big.  It means so much.  It is a huge part of who I am, really.  To me, Ohio State is a huge thing, but I think, in reality it is probably quite insignificant.  It's kind of depressing to think that about a 50,000 person university.  How insignificant can my one person life be then?  

But, I guess it's like that saying.  I don't remember how it goes, but something like "to the world you are just one person, but to one person you are the world." I guess that is what makes life special.  The little personal relationships we have along the way define us much more than the impact we have on the whole world.  

Anyway, as I say goodbye to college, I would like to think that I learned something in the last four years.  I guess that's all you can hope for from the $80,000 price tag.
