It has been 3 days since I graduated college and my feelings are still mixed about the whole thing. Graduation came and went. I then spent that night packing up my room and went to bed at midnight, when I got a phone call from James at 1:30 am. He wanted to stop by and say goodbye. As James said his goodbye and drove away I realized this wasn't a "See you in August" goodbye, it was more like "Bye for now", I'll see you when I see you goodbye. Then it finally hit. I am not a student or kid anymore, I'm an adult with a job starting in August.
So now that I dedicated this blog to all the people that made my four years at Clarkson, I would like to say THANK YOU. Thank you for busting my chops and making me better at comebacks, thank you for the crazy nights out on the town, thank you for the laughs and most importantly thank you for the stories; the unforgettable stories.
To those who still have school left: enjoy it, make memories, do something for the story, because Potsdam is not the real world. Let's be real, Potsdam is it's only little secluded town. Enjoy some more nights filled with dancing at streets and for your classier days head to fields. I am sure they are gonna miss Karen and I, as regulars so someone will have to take our place. Oh and don't forget BTB, or trivia night!
For those who graduated with me, follow your arrow wherever it points! As cliche as this sounds, keep in touch! Together we built this four year foundation on which our degrees lie, and we can't forget each other because of new beginnings. Fill me in with your ups and your downs, or when you need advice or just a laugh. Whether we stay in touch via snapchat, instagram (throwback thursdays) or random facebook posts, it will still be nice to know that I'll be remembered.
As most of my friends at school know I am notorious for saying "bye forever" or "see you never" as I hate getting emotionally attached to people or things. I was unable to make a joke of saying goodbye to Clarkson or my college friends, because although I tried not to cry all of graduation or senior week. I did shed a tear as we pulled away from Clarkson and when James did also. Clarkson made me who I am today, along with the wonderful friends I have made over my last 4 years.
Cheers to the people in our life that give us stories to tell.
Here's to becoming an adult! (eeek)
Anybody with me?
