"&amp;quot;This year went by so fast!&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s all I hear around campus these days - and I agree 100%! My freshman year was quite the experience! I loved every minute of it (the good, the bad, and even the downright ugly). Although it was fun, it&amp;#039;s sad to see a lot of girls are moving out of the dorms to find their own apartment. Some girls are even transferring to schools hours away! It&amp;#039;s hard to see some of my new friends moving on, but we had the perfect way to celebrate the end of this awesome year! The last weekend of school three of my closest friends and I took a road trip to Six Flags Great America to spend the afternoon riding rollercoasters, playing games, and eating cotton candy! We all piled into a car and drove down to Chicago early in the morning to be the first in line at opening weekend.  Nobody hesitated as we ran to get in line for the biggest rollercoaster in the park - The Raging Bull! That has to be the scariest rollercoaster ever! I couldn&amp;#039;t even scream, because my voice got caught in my throat on the way down! Not only did we go on rides, but we played games too! My boyfriend won me a teddy bear from the hammer game! It was so cute; he is such a gentleman :) On our way out of the park we decided to play one last game. We chose the ring toss and bought a huge bucket of rings to try and throw onto the bottles. The game seemed so impossible, but somehow I threw a ring and it landed right on a bottle! I was so shocked! It was the first time I ever won anything besides a goldfish! My prize was a HUGE 6 foot tall Jamaican banana! It&amp;#039;s a good thing we had a guy with us to carry that giant thing around! As I am writing this, it is laying under my dorm room bed. I have no idea what I am going to do with it... Afterwards, we went out for dinner and then drove all the way back home. I was so exhausted and sunburnt, but it was totally worth it! Spending my last weekend on campus with some awesome girls at Six Flags was the BEST way to end my year. I am so grateful for the friends I made in college, No matter where life takes us, I know we will always remember the day of rollercoasters and giant bananas! How did you end the semester this year? Let us know in the comments! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
