Graduation – - I can’t wait.
When I decided to go back to school, I didn’t really realize how much work and effort it would take in order to obtain my degree. Luckily, I have a good job and I could technically say that I don’t really need a college degree. I am quite comfortable with my lifestyle and I can pretty much afford “some” luxuries in life. My friends who are college grads themselves, are asking me why I wanted to pursue a degree when I don’t really have to. My reply, “It’s for me. To satisfy me.”
Why did I say that? My plans as a kid didn’t include working and going to school at the same time. I envisioned myself going through life like everyone else does. You go to school, you graduate and then you get a job, get married..blah blah blah. But life isn’t that simple. It makes an interesting story when you get hit by a curve ball to get you off track.. and then, you bounce back and follow the same exact path you had originally planned. I have always seen my future to include a college degree and I will not die without it.
That’s how I feel. That is why I cannot wait when I can finally send them my graduation invitation. The most fun for me will be when I get to customize my invitation and write this all over it, “It was worth it!”. Customizing invitations isn’t so hard anymore. You don’t have to go to a print shop to do it. I will simply go online and customize my invitation to any which way I like and have it mailed to me. Graduation isn’t quite here for me just yet. I do know that one day, it’ll be here – and that will be the happiest day of my life.
