Sad About Leaving Undergrad?

Today was my, perhaps yours, last day of undergraduate classes. I have to admit that although I was highly anxious to leave and start prefession school since freshman year, I am very sad that UG is over (if finals=pass). As professional students we may not have the time or immaturity to act as wild and explorative as we were during those four glorious years. We arent students anymore, more like professional students since so damd much is riding on us now(loans,family,financial and professional dreams). I suppose I'll have to put aside my social activism for now. Your lucky GW Bush and Stephen Harper ! That is....until I run for office.

Anyone else feel this way?...about undegrad that is.

I thought you said you hated McGill. 😕

Yeah I've been thinking that I would miss undergrad. The other day I was thinking that there are lots of friends that I have made that I know I really won't see again after I leave. Those are the friends that you know because you were with them in physiology, then by chance they were in your same micro class, then maybe a year later they show up in Biochem. Anyway, it's always nice to feel like no matter where you go in undergrad you see a familiar face. I think I will miss that familiarity.

My good friends I'll of course keep in touch with and likely see once in a while since I'm only going 50 miles away to d-school.

I actually have mixed feelings about leaving undergrad school. I want to hurry up and graduate and be relieved that that part is over, but yet I'm tied down by my fear of moving forward to the real real world..that is the professional world.

I think as a "professional" student, you could still be a kid at heart. I mean there's no fun in constantly being serious all the time. Dental school doesn't mean the end of our social life right? I mean the stress dies down towards the last 2 years am I right?

I still have about 3 weeks of class left, but I am not sure if I will feel the same. My UG is an all male school, so I’m damn excited to move on to new things, and hopefully be finally done with school in a few years 🙂. I will miss many things though. Mainly, the great friends that I have made who will be going to do their own things and all of the awesome professors I have encountered. I definitely won’t miss the 40 hours of studying a week I did my junior year...LOL.

👍 😎 Good luck to whereever your going too.

This is about the 7th time in my life that I've completely changed my surroundings, but this is just as hard as any of those times were because I've spent most of the last two years just 30 miles from home and have two sisters here in good old Logan with me, so I feel like I'm leaving home all over again. I'm also in a pretty serious relationship and have no idea where it's going this fall, so, uh, yeah, I'm a little worried about the changes facing me.
At the same time I realize I just feel this way because I'm looking ahead to it. Once it's all happened and I'm looking back on it I know I'll be saying, "yeah, that wasn't so bad and I'm happy where I am"

I still miss my undergrad. It was good times and very laid-back, although many of the courses were more difficult than what I'm doing now.

As odd as it sounds, I wish I back at undergrad this week prepping for finals.

You're done? You must be on quarters or something. Anyway, no, I don't miss undergrad at all. I spent 7 1/2 years, full time, to earn my degrees and by the end I had had it. sigh...and now four more years in professional school...

i had similar feelings too when i was about to graduate from UG, but i am glad i am out of there b/c i am in a better place now. In dental school, you might be barely in touch with the buddies that you took bio 1 and 2 and org lab with but you will find your own click who will spend 12 hrs everyday of the next 4 years with!!

Although I had such a blast during my undergrad years, I am so damn glad to get out of there. My undergrad was the University of Toronto....constantly the top rated school in Canada with 60,000 students. Sounds impressive, right? Wrong! The school was too big, too impersonal and frankly too competitive. Its a place full of gunners and people who would step over their own mother for that extra percentage point. I hated the atmosphere and once again, Im so glad im out of that place. Unless they want to do research in the future, I never recommend the University of Toronto to anybody.

Dont worry palorrisfan...give it a few months, and McGill will be just a distant memory and you will never look back.

Ill be honest...Im quite suprised that someone as superficial and elitist as yourself is not a Bush and Harper supporter.

I have two very distinct faces! 🙂

our beloved friend is back..

 

[dentist_to_be?]

i have seven exams in the next two weeks... at library right now... ill be happy to be finished the semister 😀 😀 😀

im excited about next year, but sad to be leaving undergrad and all my friends... everyone is going off doing their own thing, and you wanna keep in touch, but you know its never gonna happen, thats what im kinda sad about..

Took the word right out of mouth....its a choker.

 

[angeeeeee]

Just remember we will all probably make tons of friends in D-school that will last a lot longer and probably be even closer cuz the class sizes are so much smaller. Don't cry b/c it's over...smile b/c it happened (and then look forward to what the future holds for you)

.....had my last physics lab today, which means I had my last undergrad lab today!!!! I'm so happy those are over. Somthing about an hour of homework, a lab report, and a stupid quiz - all every week for one lousy credit, it just never really sat well with me.

 

[Comet208]

.....had my last physics lab today, -..............one lousy credit, .

ah, the most useless class i have taken in my entire education!

 

[JakeMUSC]

Yeah, after graduation, I definitely had an empty feeling. I was used to walking around a beautiful campus(hate to brag, but Cold Mountain, The Patriot, etc, films were shot on campus), used to walking around a ton of beautiful women (hate to brag, but our female students to male students ratio is 7:1), and of course I was used to all my profs and classmates. But you can't stay the same, evolution is the key!

 

[USUaggie]

The only girl I've met from SC was gorgeous. I met her at a dance a couple years ago and the next week I found out she was in one of my classes and so we became friends and things were going real smooth until she found out she was pregnant! (it was some guy from home before she came to school) and moved back home. A couple months later she married some other guy who she knew from school. All in all it was a wierd little saga.
But yeah, based on my experiences the south carolinians are beautiful.

 

[v&andy_yankee]

come graduation, i'm going to cry my eyes out.

i'm going to miss my friends. i'm gonna miss the pretty campus with the nice weather. and i am definitely going to miss all the eye candy on campus--all the young, tight bodies with perfect tans and blonde hair--because my dental school next year won't have any of that.

and as much as i got sick of nashville, i'm gonna miss the big trucks, the big hair, the fat people.

 

[rocknightmare]

i didn't miss school till i actually moved out of charlottesville --- around 3 months after graduation. then it hit me hard that wow i am moving to something totally different.

well lets all hope for the best ;0

I'm sad about moving away from my family...right now i live with my parents and little sister, and I'm moving 800 miles away! I am so close to my family...dinner together every night; routine breakfast every sunday morning. Even though moving up North is gonna be awesome and exciting, I have a feeling that at first, I'll be an emotional wreck!
