Today marked my last China Night.
China Night is the biggest event for the Chinese Culture Club at Geneseo (CCCG). It is the night where we, as a club, put on a performance to inform the Geneseo community about Chinese culture. I have participated in this event as a backstage manager since my freshman year here at Geneseo. Tonight, this magical part of my life has finally come to an end. As I took my final bow on stage, I realized that my time in Geneseo is almost over. As a senior, I only have a semester left before I graduate. Everything eventually comes to an end, that much is true. To see it happen before my own eyes, though, it feels so surreal. On one hand, I’m ecstatic that I am almost finished with the current school year. On the other hand, I’m scared to say goodbye to the life I have created here in Geneseo. These conflicting feelings continue to grow with each passing day. Whether it’s a coping mechanism or just plain ignorance, I haven’t been able to accept this fact even as I now pack my China Night equipment away.
