Last Friday was my graduation recognition ceremony and this week is officially my last week of classes, work, and interning. I am wrapping up papers and projects, and packing my graduate life away into boxes and duffel bags.

While I continue to live a graduate student life and step into life as a graduate, I can’t help but feel as if this has all been some kind of surreal dream. This past year has gone by too fast, but it has been quite the ride. I have no idea what next year, next month, or even next week will bring, but I know that I have learned both inside and outside of the classroom, and found enduring friendships.

Incoming and returning graduate students: best of luck and enjoy every moment of it.

Cheers!
