Today at 1400, Texas A&M began Commencement Ceremonies for graduating members of the College of Architecture, College of Science, and College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Science (one of these things is not like the others), awarding Doctoral, Masters and Baccalaureate degrees. We also commissioned about 130 officers going into the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. A big, big event.
I have officially been awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a Minor in Creative Writing. The diploma is already in a frame and I'm not giving it back! 
The most meaningful part of the ceremony, though, was standing with my graduating class and getting to turn my Aggie Ring around so that the Eagle and Class Year faced outwards, symbolizing that we were ready to face the world. The Association of Former Students representative added another layer to it, though, with the quote I have there above. I may be leaving the safety of this University, off to the greater challenge of Med School, but I'll always have the Aggie Family standing behind me 
All in all, an awesome, eventful day.
Also, for the whole ceremony I had WALK THE MOON's "Shut up and Dance" in my head. Good times.
A couple pics before I go!
