This moment in history marks the time that I will never again have to submit a paper, assignment, or take an exam for my undergraduate degrees. This moment right here will never happen again... and I couldn't be more thrilled!
"Didn't you graduate in April...?" You ask. Well, technically yes and no. I finished my Interior Design degree in April. I had three more classes to go to finish my sales degree. Yes, I could have taken the classes during the previous semester and killed myself, but instead, I saved them for the summer. They were all available online and there were only three of them, so what the heck.
I turned in the last essay at 10:30 this morning. So today marks the day that I am officially done with my undergraduate degrees!
I'm excited, relieved, but most of all, I feel powerful. Maybe a strange thing to feel. But even before I hit "submit", the feelings of excitement started to bubble up inside of me. I had to keep from shouting hurrah! I swear I could have run a marathon right then and there. So I threw on my running clothes and went running. I didn't quite make it 26.2 miles, but I didn't once feel exhausted and ready to give up. I was pumped!
I feel like I have officially arrived. I got a glimpse of this when I got offered a design job the week before graduation. I got another glimpse while I was sitting in the auditorium in April listening to someone say how wonderful I (and however many other hundred students there were) was. But today combines all of those moments into a seriously rockin' feeling of accomplishment. If I could feel this powerful everyday can you image what I could do with myself??
I know this feeling won't last forever, but while it's still here I have a lot to do with it! First I need to figure out what my next big goal is....
Jennifer and I were discussing what your next big goal should be and this is what we think-just have fun. And maybe take a trip to Europe.
ReplyDeletehaha I think this is excellent advice. I so much just want to come home at the end of a long day and do whatever I want without feeling like there are so many other things I have to get done. I've been saving up for a fun trip... I just have to figure out when and where. And whatever happened to the three of us going to California?? ;-)
