May is almost here

I can't believe that tomorrow will be the fifth month of the new decade. I can't believe that tomorrow will also be three weeks left until I graduate. I am so excited that I don't know what to do with myself! May is one of my favorite months of the year because that is when spring weather stops being cold and rainy and it starts getting a little hotter and less rain. May is also when the NBA and NHL playoffs are in full swing. The Bruins and Celtics both advanced to the second round earlier this week, so it is a good time to be a Boston sports fan. As much as I really love watching the playoffs, it is always more exciting when your team is still in it. The Bruins are facing the Philadelphia Flyers and the Celtics are playing the Cleveland Cavilers. Both opponents are their rivals, so both of them should be exciting series to watch.
It also the last month of the college year until the fall, but this year I will be done for good. Many seniors that I have talked to are really nervous about graduating because they don't know what to do for a job. I am really stoked about graduating and I don't have a plan either, but like my dad said, you have the rest of your life to find a job and be stressed out. I know that I am not having much luck, but I know someday I will get a great opportunity for a job and I will not pass it up. One thing about me is, if there is an opportunity knocking on the door, I am going to answer the call and make my chances count.
Life has been great for me because I am the only one in Smith Hall that barely has homework to do. While everyone is stressing out and complaining, I am just relaxing and laughing at them. I do have homework to do. I have a 7-8 page paper for my film class due next Thursday and my revision for my feature story for Sports Writing is due May 10th. Unlike everyone else, I am always on top on my work, so whenever I get them done, I get them done quickly, which gives me have plenty of free time. This is actually the most free time that I have ever had. I need this because I have worked my ass off and sacrificed a lot of my time throughout my four years at UNH, so I deserve all of the free time that I have. I will be busy and stressed out soon enough once I get into the job world.
Since I have three weeks left in my college career, there are things that I haven't done yet that I have to do. The top four things that I plan to do is to go to the Portsmouth Brewery, go to the Red Hook brewery, go to Wagon Hill, which apparently the rumor is people have sex in a wagon, not that I am planning to do so, and do the "Slap Shot" contest at JP's Eatery in Durham. To complete the "Slap Shot", you have to eat 15 sliders, a large fry and a large milkshake in 30 minutes. People have done it, in fact the fastest time I believe is 12 minutes, which is Joey Chestnut fast. I know that I will not be able to finish it, but dammit I want to try it. As much as I love to eat I have never participated in an eating contest, not until the "Slap Shot". I just realized that my top four things I want to do have to do with eating, drinking and possibly having sex. Wow, I sound like a frat boy, weak.
Coming into this semester, I knew that graduating is going to be weird, but when it starts to get closer it hits you hard. As excited as I am about graduating, I am also sad that I am leaving. The good times definitely outweighed the bad times. I have met people that I thought I would never meet. In fact, I made friends that will last a lifetime. I will be leaving a place that groomed me to be the best journalist and even the best person I can be. I don't think I would be the person I am today if I went to Boston University or even Fitchburg State College. Everyone has a different experience where ever they go, which is why life is so interesting. It may be possible that my high school peers that got rejected from UNH my not have had as good of a time here as I did, but that is why we are all different people.
This weekend should be exciting because one of my friends from home is visiting tomorrow, which whenever he does, it is a great time. I don't have a lot of homework to do, so I can spend more time goofing around. Also, the Bruins and Celtics are both playing their second round Game 1's tomorrow. Hopefully they can win, but if they don't, they have at least four games to make it up. I just hope my last three weekends ever at UNH will be the best three weekends of my life. I just have to them count.
