Sometimes the idealism of youth and the reality of adulthood come crashing together and you suddenly find yourself a different person. The place for that transition for most people is college. And the place to find it on television the past four years has been 'Greek' (Mon., 9PM ET on ABC Family).

But idealism wasn't the only thing that crumbled in this finale, though don't call it sad. Despite their hopes for a miracle, the KT House wasn't spared the demolition.

But college is more than a building, and fraternity is more than a house. While showing us that you don't always win the good fight, we got to see that they all came out victorious in that they've each grown into the kinds of people they can be proud of.

They've found love, new directions, happiness and friendship. Just like we did with them. It was a nice reflection of real life.

The series finale of 'Greek' was a mostly uphill ride with laughter and tears. Just like graduation from college. What could be more appropriate?
