I’m graduating in mid-June. June 14th, to be exact.

It’s scary; on one hand, I’m so ready to blow this Popsicle stand… But on the other hand, I don’t want to let go. I’m going to a college on the other side of the state, and it’s far enough away where my I have to phone ahead for visits, but not so far away that my family won’t be able to reach me after an emergency.  Read More »
