savvyliterateGraduation. It's such a scary word. It's hard to believe that in little over a month, I will graduate from college. I'm suppose to be heading off into the real world and become an adult. Well, technically an adult. Something tells me that I will always be somewhat of a child at heart. My favorite comic, "Rose is Rose," describes that aspect of me perfectly. I identify with the main character, Rose, completely. I'll be the one to pretend and have alter egos while still be a good mom and wife.
Everything has taken on a surreal quality here. I sit at my desk that I've occupied for the past two years and look at my co-workers interacting across the room. Some have only been here a few weeks while others I've known ever since I've started school here. One I had a crush on. The other, we shared adventures in New York City together. It's hard to believe that soon we'll all go our separate ways. When I looked upon this gorgeous Alabama day today and played wiffle ball out on the front lawn of The Crimson White with co-workers, I wanted to take a snapshot of the moment and remain in it forever.
I'm incredibly happy the way I am right now. I'm with a wonderful man and I'm truly in love for the first time in my life. I have the most wonderful friends, a great job and I'm about to sign my very first lease. Leaving school behind is going to be painful, but I'm trying to treasure the moments here while I can. Soon I won't be able to barb Nick Parsons every day or have Luke make fun of my canny ability to unknowingly copy what he says. I'm going to miss having all types of discussions with the SGA President and rushing to make deadline on papers and articles. I already miss being out on the marching field and going to practice every day and being in the Million Dollar Band. Graduation is exciting, but it's so sad as well.
Oh well! I'll be cheerful as usual and I'll get by. I'll still have Lance and my friends and family with me as I move into the future. The places and situations may change - but good people in your life will always be a constant.
