Instead of graduating in the Spring of 2018, I'll now be graduating in the Fall of 2018. I'm excited about the change, definitely nervous about the work environment, but still ready for the challenge.

Thank you. That was honestly my biggest fear. I would like to add in I gave my two-weeks notice prior to this happening and if I got terminated, egally, I will not be paid my 64hrs of unused vacay...
