I've Got the Whole College Experience...In My Post?

It's an experience that caused a lot of laughter, a lot of tears, humility gained, friendships made, and stress a prominent figure in my life. And I couldn't be more happy I was able to entertain this experience.

This experience I refer: college.

 Though I'm only finishing my junior year and, thus, have one more year to go, I'm already marking the entirety of my college careers as the best experience I have ever lived through in my life.

 Do you see this globe-like figure below:

 This is a recent two hour period where I was able to laugh, cry, humble myself, enjoy my friendships, and stress all at one time. Within the above figure, I am in an editing lab (where us Journalism students live) working on my project that at the time was due in four days.

What you don't see in this figure is the amount of stress or tears emitting from myself.

What you do see, however, are the friends who sat with me and edited their own projects in attempt to make each other and myself smile. What else you see? The laughter on some of their faces and stories were told and conversations had.

 What you don't see? How--in order to life my spirits up--the praised my previous work to help me push through the final necessities of my project.

 Before I entered college I could only dream of friendships like this--an experience like this. Now, even through the bad times and the tears, I have friendships and experience like this.

 And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
