The final semester of a senior student’s life is stressful and hectic. He has to submit many requirements for his classes, such as a term paper, or a dissertation, while balancing it with his excitement over his impending graduation and the pressure of completing employment applications. 

My senior year was no different. I was working on a research paper for my Art history class, while also attending meetings with my thesis group mates. This is on top of my part-time job as a barista for a local coffee shop, and you would be able to see how I really had my hands full. Fortunately, I was able to pull it off. I submitted my thesis and research paper 30 minutes before the deadline. 

Despite the difficulty, I would always be willing to repeat that experience. The excitement of having to do things in a quick yet quality manner is something that I consider thrilling.
