May Madness: Aftermath of Graduation

Dear Friends,


My lack of entries was due for three reasons: Finals, Graduation, and Work. I am going to try to blog more starting this week. I should have a lot of things to say and I do. My life should have changed because I finished college but it has not. I wonder why I still feel depressed and hopeless. Maybe it is because I have nothing to work to but that's not true because I am still in school for my bachelors degree and maybe more. I just don't have enough time to do what I want to do. Actually I have time but I am too busy trying to do other things. So where to begin in my epic tale? Let's start with finals then work to recent events.


Someone once told me that finishing something does not mean the end of something. So in my epic journey to get a college degree, I have been going through a range of emotions about completing this degree. My last week of finals were everything from stressful to crazy. I have studied so hard and worked my ass off to see graduation. I have done everything outside of selling my soul and cheating to graduate. So we fast foreward to graduation day, and the reality of graduation did not hit me until I was in my cap and gown. Seeing people I have been in class with for two years in their caps and gowns made me happy. Unfortunately my happiness was short lived after the ceremony. You would think that graduation is my day to shine but my reality slapped me in the face. So due to some impatient acts and people who could not wait for details, my evening was almost ruined. I ended up eating dinner with my friends but my family was somewhere else. I am still upset at that because I don't have pics of my mom or anyone else in my cap and gown.

After graduation, my hype and my drive paused. I am taking spring/summer classes to keep my mind active and I am also working. My mind needs to be active in order to keep my life active. So what now? Well for now, I am going to do what I need to do in order to live but my life is going to change once September come. People will not like this change but I need to do it or I will be miserable. More to come....
