A year ago yesterday, I graduated college. If I´m being honest, the actual graduation itself was kinda wack. We did it at the convention center, which isn´t my favorite venue for a graduation. The business school gets priority for the Siegel Center, and that´s probably because they are such a huge school on campus. Nevertheless, the feeling of crossing the stage and knowing that you have finished what had been your life for close to 5 years is nothing that can be beat. 365 days ago I ended one of the most interesting, and challenging times of my life.
It is always good to reflect. I can´t forget that my journey in uni started at Marymount. I made some of my best friends there. VCU may have been the best decision that I have ever made in my life just because of the proximity of the school to where I lived. I learned the most about myself here. I learned how to think critically. I learned how to craft a research presentation and tailor it to a specific audience. I learned how to survive off of 7-11 coffee and peanut butter crackers. I learned how to stretch that $5 for a day or two. I learned how to make the most of a $9.50/hour job. I learned how to work 2 jobs at once, and sometimes even 3. These are the things that make you into the person that you become, and I think that my time at VCU has molded me into the person that I am.
As of right now, there are now only two people in our groupchat that have not graduated. 2 days ago, it was 4. Time does fly, indeed.
