"I am looking forward to meeting new people, learning about and helping them, and making friendships in the workplace. Those relationships are what make the workplace fun and enjoyable.
I am also looking forward to no more homework and finals. I will always be learning something new every day, but I won't have to study for tests or stay up late studying for finals every semester after I graduate."
