I See the IC

I See the IC

Finally after the end to the brutal winter weather, the two fountains in front of the IC are now turned on! For some people, this officially marks the beginning of spring/summer with warm weather, vibrant colors of budding flowers, fresh green grass, and bright blue skies. At this point of the school year, the IC is usually packed with students studying for their final exams next week, completing papers in the writing center, and practicing presentations in the study rooms. Needless to say, it is pretty hectic.

To others, people see these things as a pretty typical definition of college life. To me, I see success-in-the-making. I see bright minds at work on completing their major and minor requirements such as accounting, psychology, biochemistry, international studies, and last but not least, health systems management. I see future lawyers, teachers, accountants, doctors, artists, and more. I now understand how much time and effort students, especially at Loyola, must put in to do well in school and ultimately have a prosperous career. As my biology teacher always says, “Hard work pays off,” I too believe that academic dedication will one day be truly gratifying.

As I digress, I am relieved that my first year of college is almost done. So many things have happened since August- good and bad (my final blog post next week will cover my reflection of freshman year). As I continue through this week, I must give in all my effort for my classes to finish off the year strong. I know I can do it. Hard work pays off.
