The end of the year is the one thing I've always seen happening at one point or another but it's actually here. All the material I got too lazy to learn during the school year is now being re-taught (by myself and study groups made up of smart people -choose study groups wisely!). Preparing for finals is definitely stressful but it's also such a great feeling. I can tell myself that I survived a year at Berkeley and I'm still here! It's really exciting just to see everything coming together at the end of the year and reflecting on all the friends, memories, adventures, and food (yes, food deserves it's own category because food is a MAJOR part of the college experience at Cal, trust me) that you've gone through. I find myself sitting here in disbelief that only a year ago, I was preparing for AP tests and couldn't wait to get out of high school. It's WEIRD to be on the other side now.
Ah, the things you learn at Cal. The clubs, the study sessions, the friends -everything is amazing. Despite all the stress you end up enduring (the self-created stress and the academic stress), you come out on the other side happier than ever. But then there are the finals to take care of...
I've already taken down some stuff from my wall and it's a really weird feeling and nostalgic feeling but alas, I must return to my studying! Ah, the end of the year is here..
