<p>I’m about to be a senior and will be graduating this year. Even though I have a year left, I already feel kinda sad. I really, really enjoyed my 3 years at UCLA so far and leaving UCLA is like leaving Hogwarts (lol?) for me.</p>
<p>Honestly, I was more excited about things to come than I was sad about graduating. I had a great time at UCLA and it’s a bummer that I can’t see some of my good friends as often anymore, but I felt (and still feel) like there’s a lot to look forward to.</p>
<p>I suppose people try to leave UCLA ASAP, who like to stay at this environment rather than getting degrees.</p>
<p>I’m going to be a senior too and I’m dreading graduation. I’ve had a great time here filled with many memories. Freshman year especially was awesome…everything was new, a lot of “firsts”, etc. One thing’s for sure though, I’m really happy with my decision to come here.</p>
<p>I was more scared to leave UCLA and face the real world than sad to leave the university.</p>
<p>My feelings regarding UCLA are rather ambivalent. On one end, I feel it is a sucking vortex of hopelessness and broken dreams. On the other end, UCLA is an asylum to reality and a feeder of false expectations. </p>
<p>You know how college students are spoiled with their Macs and coffee and idealism? Well the real world isn’t like that and most of students will never experience being so sophisticated again.</p>
