A Little More Time

Time. Time is the most valuable thing in this world as everyone is always left wanting more. But time is the one thing we can’t get more of. As my senior year begins here at Purdue, I am left wanting more time. More time laughing with the friends I have made, more time learning from the amazing professors I have gotten to know, and definitely more time preparing for my future upon graduation. As a freshman, I would never have imagined just how much I would come to love this place. When I began college, I came into it thinking that I would learn all kinds of things about agriculture that would help me get into graduate school, which would help me get the career I had always dreamed of. Well, Purdue has most definitely given me a vast amount of knowledge about agriculture, but it has given me so much more than that as well. Purdue has so many incredible opportunities for students to get involved with your school, department and even within the community here too. Joining clubs, extra curriculars and intermural sports is a great way to get involved and to get to know people who share similar interests with you. Through various clubs, classes and cooperative living I have been able to make many lifelong friends. Friends that I have spent the majority of my time with here at Purdue though late-night food runs, pajama movie nights, and lots of all nighters studying for exams and finals. Purdue has given me an amazing education that has set me up for a great future, but it also gave me invaluable experiences and some pretty fantastic friends, and I will value all the time I have left here with them before we head our separate ways upon graduation.
