College Graduate

I have 2 hours before my last Undergraduate final. I'm sitting here eating Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, watching The Bone Collector, checking my Facebook, and texting a very special person...obviously my body hasn't processed the fact that I'm supposed to be cramming and focusing on this last test.

Two days ago I shared a fun morning with all of my Anthropology major friends, we participated in a 'ritual' for our Capstone final with all 4 of our department professors and ate some awesome food while visiting about whatever came to mind. I can't help but feel so thankful to have shared the past year and a half with these people. We have all shared so much of ourselves and learned so much about each other, and I hope that each and every one of them is successful in whatever they do. SOU seemed like an odd choice for me, but now I realize that it was probably the best thing I have chosen to do.

I have lost friends along the way for reasons that I can never change, but in losing them I found others. Erinn has been one of the best friends I could have while travelling on this crazy journey, and I am so very happy to have shared the stress and joy this senior year gave us. Working at Best Buy was initially a choice made to bring in a check and to learn some things on the way...little did I know that my job there would lead to a whole slew of new friends. They have supported me through my bad days even when they had no idea why I was upset, hugs all around. I'm excited to be done, but nervous because school is all I have ever known, so finishing this and starting life seems like a doorway that I can't yet see all the way through yet, but it is cracked ever so slightly.
