Tuesday, November6, Letting Go Aggies tie loose ends before graduate p i day, Novemb By Heather Campbell. THE BATTALION The countdown begins for many as the day nears that stu dents proudly will walk away from Texas A&M with a freshly sealed diploma. Graduating sen iors reflect and express their feelings of excitement and a tinge of apprehension as they look toward the future. Joni Forfter, a senior math major, said she wants to spend her last few months at A&M focusing on friendships. “After you leave, everyone splits apart, and you may never see them again,” Forfter said. “It’s not like graduating from high school when you could just go home or visit other col leges to see your friends.” Becky Niederstadt, a senior marketing major, said she will spend her remaining time at A&M by making the most of every moment. “When you’re a graduating senior, you want to make sure all ties are strong when you leave and that you take advan tage of every opportunity,” he said. “I’m really excited to be finished, and I’m anticipating what will be next. It will be very different because for the first time you won’t have a set routine, but being independent can outweigh the structure of going to school for 17 years.” With crisp, black graduation gowns and caps soon to fill Reed Arena, students prepare to embark on new adventures as the world lies at their finger tips. For some, this means more school but for others, the “real world” awaits them. The search is on for Trent Vacek, Class of 2(X)1. as he looks for a job in sales or real estate. “I’m ready to have a change of environment and a different atmosphere,” Vacek said. “I know it’s going to be different, especially in the aspect of more financial responsibility.” The Sept. 11 attacks have caused frustration for many as the economy suffers. The downturn has affected many people and deterred some from searching for jobs. “I have considered looking for a job. but I think it would be best to stay in school with the conditions of the economy” Niederstadt said. “1 will proba bly pursue law school, and hopefully, our country will be stable when I get out.” A&M prides itself in the Aggie network, and as gradu ates step out into the world, it can be a source of guidance for them. Aggies remain loyal to their alma mater and look for the Aggie ring. With gradua tion nearing, more rings are seen across campus. Students anxiously wait for thei and dunking ceremonies!! in celebration of the plishment.
