Aggies tie loose ends before graduate

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.
