1. Denial – As you press submit on your last entry for your Gateway Portfolio, you can’t believe you’re done.
2. Confusion – This can’t be it, you think. There was so much to do, so many sessions to attend, so many reflections to write.
3. Paranoia – You can’t believe you’re finished already. It’s only March. There must be something else that you’re forgetting.
4. Sheer Joy – You’re no longer bogged down with multiple requirements. You don’t have to read any more about “Student Success at Bryant University” – you’ve achieved it.
5. Acceptance – You realize you have finished your last Gateway requirement… The evil has been defeated.
