Surprise! You Graduated!

That's it. That's the end. You made it. You have that piece of paper and a head full of knowledge that opens up so many doors for you. From your humble beginnings to your slacking end, you have proven that you had what it took to make it through four years at Pitt-Johnstown.

What's next? A brand new job? Graduate school? Only you can decide your path.

Nursing and Engineering Buildings: The Hard Stuff Nobody Can Pronounce

Why would you ever need to go in here? Just the subject matter in the building's name makes your brain ache. Remember that one time when you tried to check it out when it was still brand new, and you got lost for about ten minutes before you finally found a door to the outside world? Why would you want to seem that dumb again? Besides, I thought you'd already decided you didn't want to major in anything too sciencey. 

Dorms: Live in "Luxury"

Freshman Year: they're the size of a jail cell and about as comfortable as one.
Sophomore Year: try to get a dorm in the nicer buildings, only to have them all taken by seniors and juniors.
Junior Year: Think it'll be cool to rent a townhouse because "it's party central."
Senior Year: The LLC is best and anybody who argues that fact is just unenlightened.

Blackington Hall: Computer Science and Auditoriums

Ah, Blackington, the place with all the computers. They're hardly ever available and rarely ever log in to your account, but you've spent so much time on them in your college years that it's hard to imagine what older students did before computers became the standard. In addition to computers, Blackington has the nicest classrooms, which are honest-to-goodness mini auditoriums. They look cool, and it's easier to hide in a full class. Computer Science majors call this place home, something you almost did as well.

Krebs Hall: Math and Science

Half cool subjects, half horrifying subjects, Krebs has something for everyone. Personally, the thought of math has always hurt your brain and caused you anxiety, so you took the only two math classes you were required to enroll in and never looked back. The science part of the building was always fascinating to you, even though it's way over your head. No matter where you are in this building, there's a group of people talking about derivatives and fractions or whatever mathy people talk about. Thank heavens you don't have many classes in here.

Biddle Hall: Humanities

There's always something going on here, a conversation to overhear, or a cheerful professor to greet. This is your hall of choice, the most comfortable place for you on campus. You enjoy being surrounded by fellow business men and women, as well as the classic works of literature and fine writing. You feel relaxed here, despite any tests or papers that may be looming over your weekend. Grab a nice cup of coffee and read the latest edition of The Advocate. Knowing what you now know about this building, you wish your younger self had known about it sooner.

Senior Year: End of an Era

This is it, the last semester. It's all come down to this. The last time you get to call yourself an undergraduate. It's bittersweet, really. You know you'll miss the comforting bubble of academia, but you're totally ready to go out and make some money. You've had the opportunity to expand your knowledge beyond your major, and you're excited for what the future holds for you. Maybe your graduation will be the most memorable part of the whole experience.

MAYBE, YEAH.

NAH, IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.
