Homecoming Week

This past week was our Homecoming, and this year it coincided with Alumni Weekend. It was a really exciting week with a comedian, a hypnotist, the golf cart parade, and our Homecoming soccer game. However, it is crazy to think that this is the last time I will experience it all as a student. I have loved my time here at Creighton these past three years, and it is hard to believe that it is close to an end. Things are starting to happen in a whirlwind...I am interviewing for jobs and deciding where to settle down initially. I am interviewing with the two largest accounting firms in Omaha, and I will also be making the trek down to Wichita to interview with a privately-held company there. Things are going well because Creighton has prepared me well, but that doesn't make me any less nervous to be out there on my own. On the up side, I will be excited to come back and visit Creighton as my alma mater. I saw how much joy it brings our alumni to be back on their old stomping grounds. You can see how much this place meant to them when they were here, and how much it still means to them now. They look at St. John's with reverence for the past, and see the Harper Center with bright hope for Creighton's future. They love this place, just as us current students are learning to. Because if you learn one thing at Creighton, it is: once a bluejay, always a bluejay...
