She woke in the morning. She knew that her life had passed her by. She called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"
I started writing a few entries some weeks ago, but I couldn't bring myself to finish any of them. So here is my long overdue update.
If you didn't know already, I graduated from UCR three Sundays ago (June 14). I wasn't as excited as I probably should have been prior to that evening, but once it was time to walk, I felt the hype that everyone else was talking about. I know it's a little cliche, but I agree with those who say that your college experience will go by quickly. I could probably sum up my last four years in a general way. In fact, I think I'll do just that. I may not remember every single detail about what classes I took or what happened on a certain day, but I remember the important things... or at least the things that I consider to be momentous. And if there's something that should be written that isn't written, it's because I either intentionally or unintentionally made it so... (guess you'll never know!)

I can't think of anything else at the moment. I'm pretty sure there's more. But this'll do for now.

And thank you to all those who made these past four years the best years of my life byfar. :) The college chapter of my life kicked high school chapter's *ss... now I hope that the career chapter of my life will trump all! Peace. Out. U.C.R.
