Rants & Raves: Spectrum staff reflect on their past four years

Graduation is always an exciting time in a person's life. Whether it is from kindergarten, middle school, or college, they are all milestones that we have been looking forward to for quite some time.
With graduation slowly creeping up on me, I have been thinking lately of all the time I have spent here at Sacred Heart University.
As cheesy as it may sound, SHU is a home away from home for so many of the people that attend this school. Not only do we share the same classrooms, but we also share our lives with one another, and that is going to be hard for me to let go.
There's no reason to deny it, the economy has been in a downward spiral for quite some time. Though that may be the case, Sacred Heart really has prepared us for the "real world."
I have learned through my four years that if there is something I really want, I need to go for it, no matter how scary that may seem. Some of the other Spectrum Editors share my feelings and wanted to share their experiences with you:
"I am currently a senior and will be graduating this coming December. I am actually really glad I have another semester before I graduate because time has gone so fast and I am not ready for the so-called 'real world' or to leave SHU yet," said Assistant Perspectives Editor, Angela Salerno.
"I'm actually very excited for my future. Coming into this year I was nothing short of terrified, but now that I finally have my career goal, I'm ready to head into the next phase of my life. I'm absolutely sure that my four years here at Sacred Heart have prepared me for whatever is going to come my way. Four years fly by a lot faster than you think," said Assistant News Editor, Shannon Ianni.
"It has been quite a ride getting to this point in my life as a graduating senior, but I wouldn't trade any of my experiences and all the knowledge I have obtained throughout the years for anything," said Features Editor, Samantha Selvaggio.
"I am excited for graduation because it's my opportunity to start a new chapter in my life. I'll be attending The New School University this fall to pursue my Master's Degree. I'm so excited to be living and going to school in New York City," said Assistant Photography Editor, Nicole Giglia.
