It’s been 4 years since I came from Puerto Rico and started as a freshman at ManhattanvilleCollege. Now, its time to graduate and I have to say the feeling is a little weird to say the least.Looking back at all the crazy times with my friends, all the stupid times the guys and I just shot each other with nerf guns to now looking for a job in the real world seems unlikely and incredible.It’s really easy to forget how comfortable this college is and to leave is a scary thought and exciting at the same time.
I remember in freshman year it was my friend and I playing pool every night no matter the work and calling ourselves the “Spellman Loungers.” In sophomore year I was living with one of my best friend who was also a complete slob, making my first CD and starting to get used to New York. The last two years have been a roller coaster of changes from working with Atlantic Records, being in 4 theaters production here and figuring out what to do next and whether to stay in NY or go back home.
I’m sure many of my fellow seniors feel this way are trying to figure out what to do and are looking back at these moments, but I will cherish them so much. Together with my friends that leave with me: Justin Moran, Caitlin Corvini, Michael Lunapiena, Margaret Micucci, Chelsea Callahan, Tony Baptist,Vinny Liquory, and the Spellman Loungers I leave with friends that have become family and a bottle of champagne at graduation and wine glasses with their names on it.
