They say that time flies, and boy are they right. It does not seem possible that I have conquered organic chemistry, participated in all of the agronomy seminars led by Dr. Schweitzer, and figured out the layout of Lily Hall over the past 3 and half years. Since day one my parents have be harping on me to enjoy the &#8220;college experience&#8221;. To them, they do not think that I fully lived out my 4 years of college like I should have. I joined clubs but not a sorority, I went home every weekend and not to every football game, I went back to my apartment to do homework rather than out with friends, I graduated a semester early, I simply just did things differently. My &#8220;college experience&#8221; has been one that I would not trade for the world. I learned how to manage my time and get the things done that needed to be done so that I could do the things I wanted to do, I made friendships that will last a lifetime because we will all be working together in the industry sometime throughout our careers, and I learned that hard work pays off in the end. Of course I managed to do all of these things during a world wide pandemic, but that made my college experience even more personalized and special. Everyone has a different way to reach the finish line. It doesn&#8217;t matter how you get there, but make sure you make the journey worth while. It&#8217;s hard to believe all of the &#8220;one last times&#8221; that are occurring this week here at Purdue for me. College wasn&#8217;t easy, it wasn&#8217;t always fun, but it was the absolute best time of my life. As I sit here and compose my last agronomy ambassador blog post, I am simply in awe about how fast it has all gone.
