This two week period is overflowing with packing, moving, studying for finals in the gorgeous California sun, preparing to graduate, savoring my last few weeks as an undergraduate, saying goodbye to friends, and getting ready to leave my hometown of 9 years.

There are so many transitions that are about to take place – in just over a week, I will be a UCLA alumnus, not a student.  I no longer live in Los Angeles, but rather study medicine in the middle of Manhattan. I will exit the phase of my life where people ask, “what is your major?” and enter a chapter in which they will want to know, “what do I do?”

I suppose, before I can answer their inquiries, I need to first figure out the answer to that question myself.

However, for just this moment, I am trying not to think about any of that.  Although our future lurk in the distance, composition unknown, like clouds on the horizon, my fellow seniors and I are doing our best to live in the moment, and enjoy every last day, hour, and SECOND of the our lives as college students!
