way back
i graduated from gustavus adolphus college today with a bachelor of arts in english and a minor in film & media studies!
i'm not feeling much, because this weekend has been a mixture of happiness and sadness and being annoyed with family being family, but it's all over now, and i'm sure i'll wax poetic(er) about college sometime this week after traveling is done and i am home.
for now, here are some pictures, from back when i was a wee freshie who had just gotten instagram to junior year <3 grad photos tomorrow when my mom puts them up on fb.
freshman year - 2011/2012
everything was under-the-bed selfies and experimenting with hair; a job with the college newspaper that only paid $24 a week; the forensics team (and, just as quickly, the guilt trip the coaches put me through when i quit the forensics team), and a speech kid who told me about the dream he'd had in which god told him to quit; spn s7, and crying late at night about dean/cas; meeting friends online who are still with me today; meeting my future roommate and dear dear friend, jordan, who lived down the hall, who threw herself sobbing bodily off her bed when it was implied that a dog was harmed in spn; writing isoh; falling head over heels for film studies by total accident; figuring out, if only a little bit, who the fuck i was.
sophomore year - 2012/2013
or, the year i took way too many selfies
the day of the s8 premiere--look at that HAIR
getting closer and closer with jordan, realising i wanted to spend junior year with her as a roommate (and only her)
feeling comfy and beautiful and productive on snow days where all there was to do was homework
the annual holi festival with jordan--the showers were blue for days.
and meeting my advisor and my favourite professors for the first time; and quitting my newspaper job to earn more in the cafeteria to pay my way to chicon 2013; and meeting casey, my best friend in the world; and learning my affinity for polisci; and killing a bug with an ayn rand novel; and breaking my foot the day before fall classes began; and heading into an unexpectedly beautiful summer in which my mom and i bonded for the first time over spn.
junior year - 2014/2014
long dumb unwieldy hair; writing kin & keeper in the basement of the dorm; climbing a hill every day to get to class, winter and spring; chicon!!; blizzards and dance concerts and minor drama and musicals in the city.
senior year - 2014/2015
yeah. pretty much.
i've just realised this is the last time i can use my "after school special" tag. wow. goodbye, old friend.
