So... I guess I graduated?

I think that I've had more than enough time to fully digest graduation before I post about it. It's been roughly five days since I've been graced with a diploma, adulthood, and numerous graduation congratulations.

Graduation was a blur.

It goes by so fast. 


No one really warns you for how fast it'll feel. I hardly remember walking across the stage. I walked behind my counselor like a squash, but you know, I followed the example of several before me. I learn by example... and I panicked. So, I was one of "those" kids.

It just absolutely amazes me that the biggest moment of the entire high school career is over in a blink of an eye. I spent more time in the back halls goofing around with the chords, than I actually spent graduating. I spent more time with three lovely people singing, laughing, being loud than being in the gym.

I didn't trip though! That's a plus. I was SO worried.

My theatre director was in my line of teachers to say goodbye too. I about cried when I got a hug from him. It was the only time I almost cried. He's been the life changing teacher in my life. Easily one of the hardest goodbyes to say.

I just have a hard time even wrapping my mind around "graduation". I got to wear the funny robe; I had classic issues with the cap.


I just have a wonderful group of people that love and support me. In the end, that's all the really matters.

Of Hipsters and Grandparents

I am getting new glasses, slightly under the "hipster" category and they are speckled brown. These paired with hairstyles similar to the one above, matched with my addiction to scarves is almost obscenely art student. And you know what? I couldn't be more okay with that. It's a stereotype that I don't totally mind slipping into. Because, I'm happy, and I think it's cute, and hey, I am a art student. Like, been there done that, hello Major.

I was blessed on Friday. I am blessed all the time, my friends are angels, my family is heaven. But real quick, I want to talk about my blessing on Friday.

I received a five thousand dollar check from my grandparents. Between that check, and the loans that I am getting from Western, I have officially covered my end of the bargain. When I opened the letter with the check tucked inside, I almost burst into tears. The load that the check took off my shoulders is truly significant. I owe my grandparents so much already for being so active in my life, but then to receive this.... It's incredible. I don't even know how to put into words what I am feeling. asknf;asnvournf;lskcno;ikajen.

That sort of covers it.

Anyway, things are smoothing over a tad, and school as per always seems to be speeding up. But graduation is almost here. I couldn't be happier.

Why is life so wonderful?
