To some, college is a natural choice following the completion of high school.

Sentimentality is kind of expected here, right? I can't figure out a way to avoid clichés and sappy quotes and feelings of fond reflection so I've decided to embrace all of the triteness because it's for good reason. You only graduate once.

I love looking back on my time at Saint Rose because this college set me up to be the person I am today, the person I most definitely was not when I transferred here three years ago.

Something that comes from the heart is always much easier to take, and it usually cannot be expressed in a Hallmark card.
