Graduation came off with only minor hitches, and I'm now the proud owner of a Bachelor's of Science. It's funny, because for years that's all I wanted: get my diploma, get out, get a job. But in the last year or so my views have changed so much, so that now I'm in the midst of a Master's thesis, glad not to be leaving campus yet, and considering for the first time the idea of going right into a PhD program instead of the work force.
It took me all of high school, and most of college, but I've finally learned something truly useful and important. I've learned to stop thinking about education in terms of the light at the end of the tunnel. I finally shone my flashlight around a little, and found that the tunnel has quite a lot to offer. I'm not so sure anymore that I want to leave it at all.
