For some students, the end of the spring semester means the end of their STLCC-Meramec career altogether; they are either running to escape or dragging their feet and hoping the final goodbye will never come.
Meramec. The place students fought against going to for the first two years of their college career. This is the school no one wants to say they have spent time at.
As the semester comes to an end, the students who drag their feet to class every day are now running to their cars for a final escape to the sweet release of summer.
There is always at least one student that has completely immersed themselves in campus life, getting to know their professors, peers and administrators on a more personal level. Leaving is going to be much harder for a person who was involved, rather than a student who only spent their time at Meramec in a classroom.
Graduation is coming. Whether a student chooses to wear a cap and gown while walking across the stage to receive their diploma or pick up their graduation certificate from the admissions office, their lives have been touched by Meramec in one way or another. The end is near, as corny as that sounds, but we can all feel it. Friends are leaving the state for school or to move back home, others are going to wait until the end of summer before saying their final goodbyes to the environment they have grown accustomed to over the years.
Saying goodbye is not an easy task for anyone, especially for those who have connected with the place they were supposed to easily walk away from after two years. Meramec is home, it is the place people have found themselves and it will never leave our hearts.
