Call Me, Maybe

The Little Life of a Late Night Drama Queen with a degree. 

And the whirlwind is over.

The past two months have been full of “lasts” and goodbyes.

It has all been so bittersweet because these last few weeks have been so amazing.It is hard and sad to see it all end.

Last Alpha Delta Pi Mixer:

Katy Perry & Sophia Grace before the Pop Culture Mixer.

Last Alpha Delta Pi Formal:

4 Years of Friendship. Love them all. This last formal was my favorite.

I took Britt to my last formal. We had a blast. Danced the night away.

Last Alpha Delta Pi Meeting:

All the seniors at our last meeting.

All of these “last” events led to the grand finale. Graduation Day. The Commencement Ceremony.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry walking across the stage.

 In my mind this was the end. It’s never getting better than the past four years. But if you looked up commencement in a dictionary you would find:

Noun: the act of instance of a beginning, start

Communication and Information ladies on Graduation morning.

Proud little family.

The past four years have been full of great memories and friendships but on May 10^th at 8:30 am the next stage in my life started. I am still uncertain what this stage will hold or look like, but it’s begun and I refuse to let my life just pass me by. I am going to miss college and the many friends I left behind( it still feels like I am just home for the weekend, so reality may hit me later) and even though I felt like my body had to be pulled out of Knoxville, I am ready to see where I end up. I am so grateful to have had an amazing college experience. When I think about myself as a freshman I see that young girl looking for an adventure, and I am so happy to know that I got exactly what I was looking for at the University of Tennessee.
