“Every song has a CODA, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes away. Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music? The truth is, there is nothing to be afraid of. Its just life.”
When you are listening to an amazing song, in the back of your head you know the song is going to start to fade off and eventually end, but instead of worrying about it being over you have to learn how to sit back and enjoy the music while its there, and though you want to keep replaying that same song over and over, you know at some point you are going to have to move on and listen to another song.
The next song may not be the greatest, or come near as close to being an amazing as the last but its still something new and refreshing and who knows maybe the song after will be the best thing you heard in your life.
This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I soaked in every single piece of knowledge and information like a sponge. I took everything I learned to heart and had an open mind to the wide range of advice given to me. I knew the trip was going to end, but I did not dwell on that at all. I learned a colossal amount of information in such a short period of time and can honestly say I feel better prepared for whatever life throws my way.
It wasn't just the things we did, but the people around me who really made it what it was. The original idea of the trip was for all of us to have the opportunity to network with former bobcats and make connections that we will be able to carry into our future as we are stepping out into the world and making it on our own. However, after getting to know each and every person that I was fortunate enough to have this wonderful opportunity with, I realized it was not just about networking with alumni, but networking with my fellow peers as well. The people I am surrounded by now are going to be some of the most beneficial people in my future.
After every alumni speaker, panel and event, I was so inspired to get back to school and start creating. I wanted to start working on any production I could. This trip was probably one of the most motivating things I could experience while at OU. I now know exactly what I need to do to get where I want to be, not only in school but after I graduate as well. As sad as it was to have this amazing opportunity come to an end, I realize now that this ending it bringing on a whole new beginning, and I am anxious, excited, scared, and overjoyed to see what is coming next.
