I'm graduating college today. My days in undergraduate are over. This feels really strange, but also exciting and inspiring. Adulthood feels like a foreign idea to me, but I am indeed an adult by societal standards. I guess I've experienced the responsibility as well, what with handling bills, working with the landlord, having to keep the house in order, traveling for graduate school interviews, and managing the last semester of undergrad on top of all that. It's alot of work having the bills for an entire household in your name; I have to remember to collect checks from everyone regularly, keep strict records on who has paid what and how much... In that respect, I really look forward to living alone and just having to manage myself.
On the other hand, I am going to miss all of my lovely housemates. It was hard enough living far away from Bri for a year; if I hadn't had my housemates, I might have stumbled into depression. As shy and meek as I am, I do need to feel connected to people, and I love being social, even if I'm a bit awkward. I'm really going to miss Kelly, Cailyn and Angie next year. Four of my closest friends will be miles away, and who knows when graduate school will allow me the gift of time to visit them.
It may take a year to adjust to a new and challenging schedule, but I WILL make time for my buddies. And I'm hoping to spend some good, quality time with them this summer while I don't have the distraction of academics. =)
I love you all, more than words can express.
And CONGRATULATIONS - to all my graduating friends!
