The Gustavus Student Rhythm in May

The last few weeks of school are here.  Students have anxiety about final exams and papers.  Students who do not have other plans for the summer are busy finding summer employment.  The reality of graduation brings mixed emotions for most seniors, sadness over leaving friends or relationships, anxiety about finding a job or starting graduate school, and relief and excitement for the completion of college.  May is filled with end of the year banquets and celebrations to bring a sense of closure and preparations for the changing of leadership positions as organizations look to the fall.
