Magical Monday

It's official, I'm a college graduate! I know I've said this before, but it doesn't even feel real! I moved out of campus housing for the last time today, which was really bittersweet. It'll be odd adjusting to being at home again. Very different, since every other summer I've babysat my brother, but now I'll be busy with my new internship. I start tomorrow!

1. Graduating. You had to know this was going to be on the list. Graduating college is something I've worked for my entire life, and now I can say that I've done it. And I now officially have an alumni sweatshirt-- pretty legit, if I say so myself.

2. Family. My family (biological and otherwise) all came to my graduation, and then to my celebration afterwards, and it was so nice having them all in one place to celebrate. It means the world knowing that so many people are happy for me and proud of me.

3. Not being totally weak. When I was packing up the last of my stuff, I managed to take the bookshelf off of my dresser and flip my bed so that it was back in freshman formation all by myself, without breaking anything. I had to do both of those things with help in January, so I was feeling pretty legit.

4. My pets. I've been cuddling with my kitty and my doggy all afternoon. It's been wonderful. Also, my cat let me take a picture of her with a little mini graduation cap on. It's probably the greatest picture ever.

5. New beginnings. Now that I've graduated, a big portion of my life has come to an end. Now it's time to start a new phase, entering the working world, which is both exciting and terrifying. Wish me luck!

By now, I think most colleges have finished up with graduation, so congrats to all the other new grads! High school grads, too, that's a big accomplishment!
