I am cordially invited

To my college undergraduate commencement ceremony!

It’s real. I received the email with the official invite a little while ago. I just RSVP’ed. And in just over two months, I will walk.

I have expressed my fears about graduating previously, which was mostly nervousness about a change. Now the day cannot come soon enough. I love learning, but it’s time to see where a job in the workforce takes me. I am concerned about actually obtaining a job right away, but I know it will happen eventually. Now I won’t have any excuses for not reading what I want or writing what I want. I’ll be independent and will (hopefully) be able to (finally) buy a car. I can be considered a “real” grown-up now. It’s a strange time in a person’s life, this shift from student to worker. I’m confident I will handle the transition well. Who knows what I’ll be doing a year from now?! It’s exciting, no?
