I can't believe it!
It still hasn't fully hit...I've graduated...I'm no longer a student...I'm done...when did all of this happen??? Where did the time go??
Four years of my college life....and *poof* it's all over...
It was like any other Saturday...but at the same time it wasn't...today was the day. Today was the day that I walked across a stage and was handed my diploma cover and it was over.
Leading up to that day was stressful. Trying to find the right dress, the right shoes, have my nails all ready, and all that other "girly" stuff. Let's just say, I was anxious. I don't think it all became real to me until I picked up my cap and gown that Wednesday. I realized then that it was actually all coming to a close.
This chapter of my life was ending while the next one was being written and prepared for me.
That morning I got up, bright and early so that I could get an early start and get a good parking spot...thankfully we got lucky! Walked to the Thad Cochran building with my fellow Education classmates and took pictures, talked, laughed, and waited.
Then around 9am the precession to the Grove started. The time had actually come...well sort of...this was just the convocation...my ceremony was to start at 11 and that was still a couple of hours away.
After the, what seemed like forever, convocation, it was mass chaos to get to the entrance of the Walk of Champions and lined up for our final walk as undergraduates.
I won't bore you with small details...but the whole time I sat there, I had flashbacks of my first years here...it was weird to see that this time had finally come. And as if I had just opened my eyes, I was handing the reader my card and walking across the stage to the Dean who shook my hand and handed me my diploma cover. It was all a blur. I still can't believe it.
Here I sit, 3 days later, and it feels as if nothing happened that Saturday. It's weird.
Even though it feels as if nothing happened, I know it has. I'm now and official graduate of The University of Mississippi.
Crazy, right?!
Have you ever had that type of feeling after something big has happened??
