AUSTIN, Texas -- The Women's Basketball seniors celebrated together one final time on Friday. They celebrated each other, and their graduation from The University of Texas.

Aubry Cook, Ashley Lindsey and Earnesia Williams participated in the Spring Commencement, and each walked the stage at Friday afternoon's College of Education ceremony at Gregory Gym.

TexasSports.com caught up with each Longhorn as they reflected on their time at UT, and their special day.

Earnesia Williams 
What has UT given you? The experience has really opened my eyes to how privileged we are as a program, all of us student-athletes. In athletics, we have so much that is offered to us. What we have is top-of-the-line, and this is such a great place to be, and get an education.

How do you feel -- are you excited? It kind of feels weird, because I'm still going to be here next year. It's not like I'm actually departing. But it's a good experience. It just feels like yesterday we were freshmen. The time really passes fast, and now I'm already thinking about my graduate school classes.

How have you grown since you've been at UT? Everybody goes through their learning periods. We all have those freshman moments, sophomore moments. But definitely I've grown. It's been a long road, and I'm glad we all get to celebrate this together.

Ashley Lindsey 
What emotions are you feeling today? In a way it feels surreal. The four years have gone by real fast. I'm happy, but then again I'm sad because I'm leaving everybody.

What does the future hold for you? The plan is to go overseas and play basketball. Then come back, look for a job. I'll try to go back and forth, between overseas and here, for awhile.

What emotions are you feeling today? This is amazing. I feel like all my four years have paid off. I just got a job, actually yesterday. So, I'm just excited for the next part of my life
