The Beginning

I was originally going to title this post, "The End," but in a lot of ways, it's not the end.

Sure, it's the end of my undergrad career as I know it, but it is the beginning of so much more. For lack of a better term, "the rest of my life."

It's been a bit of a strange last year in Waterloo. In fact my last couple years of undergrad have probably been my most challenging and my most rewarding.

It's all good, and I'm extremely thankful for the time that I've had.

I think, I have few regrets about my undergraduate career.

If there was anything I might have done differently, it would be to be more adventurous in looking for co-op jobs. I would have maybe gotten out of Toronto sooner, but mainly, would have avoided comfortable software jobs earlier on.

That and I would have joined UWCCF in my first year rather than my second.

But having said that, I still have few regrets, if any at all.

It's my last night in Waterloo as an undergrad. And I'm actually sleepy. The house is quiet since I'm the only one left. Everything is pretty uneventful, but I almost prefer it this way. I was never one for crazy partying. Catching up quietly with friends is what I value more.

I've met so many people here in Waterloo. It's been awesome.

It's definitely not the last time I'll be in Waterloo. But, you know what I mean, right? Don't worry, when you reach your last night of 4B, maybe you'll feel the same way.
