Spring quarter is here, which means.....graduation! AHHHHH!! - is basically my only response when I think about it. I applied to graduate today so it's basically all in. I just need to finish two classes and turn in a paper in another one and that's that. Thinking about the future outside of Stanford is sad because I feel like I missed out on SO MANY opportunities that were available to me. Being a first-generation college student who is dealing with race issues and sexuality issues is pretty difficult to navigate though, and I think overall I did ok. Sure, I wish I applied for more things or was more gung-ho about talking to professors and stuff, but more than anything I think it's all something I can learn from and I can't complain about that. From here on out, it's seize the moment, take opportunities when they come, and continue to grow as a person. Even though things may be unknown, I can't help but think that it will be ok...eventually. The times now are happy, fantastic, glorious and I'm relishing it.
