Moving.

(My lovely tv stand that I assembled)

I haven’t had time to really sit down and actually breathe for the past two weeks but now I finally have a second. I’ve been using Facebook as my outlet for my moving but I prefer Tumblr…on the real.

Anyway it is absolutely, finally hitting me that I am making a huge step towards growth in my life. I found a beautifully perfect studio apartment for Toby and myself. I set up all the utilities necessary. I bought everything I need. No longer relying on a single person in my family besides myself. I have never been more proud of myself. I feel like I accomplished something amazing that a week ago I never felt I could.

My life has not offered me many breaks but I feel that the more I press forward in this direction and focus on what I need to I will finally reap the fruits I so duly deserve.

My lease is a year long and I think that is the perfect time for me to figure out the next step in my life. Come september I will hopefully be employed in Philly so I can continue to afford my brand new life and start cutting through those loans. 

I believe this is where I should be for now and I know that even if I find a job here for a year or two that life will pull me in the direction I am meant to go.

I can finally relax and breathe. For the first time in about 15 years I can relax and breathe.

Last College grades ever.

All of my grades are finally up and I’m honestly dissapointed/surprised at a couple but whatever.

MAT 121 (stats): B+

HST 362 (history of the Nazis and the Holocaust): B+ (Expected an A-)

SOC 305 (sociology of sec and gender): A- (Should’ve just been an A)

TRF 400 (web development): A

For this semester my GPA with those grades is a 3.583 And my overall for all 4 years with a few minor bumps in the road is 3.412 which means I am graduating with Honor’s (cum laude) on my diploma :)

Today is May 13th and today you graduate and the rules are about to change, and one of them is this: Decisions are made by those who show up. Don’t ever forget that you’re a citizen of this world. Don’t ever forget that you’re a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day. Civility, respect, kindness, character. You’re too good for schadenfreude, you’re too good for gossip and snark, you’re too good for intolerance—and since you’re walking into the middle of a presidential election, it’s worth mentioning that you’re too good to think people who disagree with you are your enemy. Unless they went to Georgetown, in which case, they can go to hell.

I am graduating tomorrow. No words. Well, a few. Syracuse has honestly been my true home, my safe haven away from all the drama in Philadelphia with my family, a place for me to grow into who I am today, and a place where I’ve developed unforgettable friendships and relationships with some of the most amazing people on this planet. I don’t know what I’ll do or how I’ll cope being away from this place and I think that is what scares me the most. I will forever bleed orange. Thank you for an amazing four years, Syracuse University.

I haven’t posted on Tumblr in months, but this makes my insides disintegrate with cuteness overload and I needed a place to keep it forever.

Anxiety

I don’t know if this happens to everyone around this time period right before they graduate but I’m spending more and more nights with my mind racing, worrying about whats going to happen within the next 74 days.

I don’t know where i’m going to live and this is one of the most daunting things on my mind. 

I don’t know if I want to rush into deciding where I want to relocate my life for my career as soon as I thought.

So now I plan on going back to Philly for the summer to figure it out. But I still need a job or internship or SOMETHING in the meantime because I can’t forget the massive price tag that came along with this education hitting me come May.

I am just in an overall panic and have been losing less and less drive to jump into working which is what I’ve consistently said I was going to do. 

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

Why does this feel like it’s all coming at me so fast?
