It\u2019s incredibly bittersweet, and sometimes I wish I wasn\u2019t finished with my time in school. My final assignment includes a company analysis and precession about my internship and time in London. I can\u2019t wait to share my experiences with other interns and students from UW-Stevens Point. I think it will be a very fitting conclusion to my time as an undergrad at UWSP.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6143\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815e.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6143 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815e.jpg\" alt=\"alexialondon20150815e\" width=\"580\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815e.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815e-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>My boyfriend and I back in Madison.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6146\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6146\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815b.jpg\" alt=\"alexialondon20150815b\" width=\"350\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815b.jpg 540w, https:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/alexialondon20150815b-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>My sister and I at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Upon returning to the States I moved to Madison, to be closer again to my family and in hopes of having more job opportunities. I am currently in the job hunt and I am waiting to hear back from several promising positions. Although it would have been nice to have a job lined up before graduation, I am enjoying this time off and the thrill of not knowing exactly what lies ahead. My whole life has been planned out and I never really was unsure of the future, now I get to experience that feeling and along the way find a career that is right for me.<\/p>\n<p>UWSP and the Stevens Point community will forever have a place in my heart, and I know I will visit often. I would highly recommend anyone, new high school grad or nontraditional student, to explore UW-Stevens Point and see if it\u2019s right for you. I could not be happier with the education I received while at Point, and the great experiences I had along the way. I could go on and on about how much I have loved the last four years and I could write a whole essay on advice that I would give to future Pointers, but really I think I just comes down to being yourself and following your dreams. It sounds cheesy but you have to do what you want and enjoy the time you have while in school.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you everyone for reading my posts over the last <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/category\/students\/alexia\/\">two and a half years<\/a>, I\u2019ve really had a great time writing them and I feel honored to be apart of a great university.
