I can't believe that in just two days, my days at the University of Texas at Dallas will be over. It's crazy really. I gotta say that I'm really happy about it though. The coursework was really hard, and at many times it wasn't very rewarding at all, but I managed to complete this degree and land a full time job! While my GPA isn't anything to brag about, I personally that achieving this Software Engineering degree in four years and getting employed more than makes up for it. Naturally, it still hasn't truly sunk in that I'm leaving this place. I wonder what I'll do then.

This isn't an official topic or anything, but I figured I'd pop one up. It's May, which means the end of the school year is quickly approaching (and perhaps it has already arrived for some). And for those who are in their last year of high school/postsecondary, that means graduation!If you're a 2012 graduate, tell us what you're graduating from (high school, college, you name it), and maybe give a snapshot of your future plans. If you're not graduating this year, then give some love to those who are.Personally, I'm graduating from high school in two days! My graduation ceremony takes place this Saturday, and then I've got a few more weeks of school and exams after. Once school is finished, I plan on working for a year while I figure out what I want to do with my life, and then doing it. :PAnyway, congratulations to all the other 2012 graduates out there!

Well, here I go. Graduation is about to start. Pretty soon I will be expected to actually get a "real job" (which is fine because hey I have this degree here), move out (which is fine because I like privacy), and become self-sufficient (which is fine because I practically already am). I just don't like the pressure to get searching for those things... But hey, I'm graduating! A BA in Journalism from Christopher Newport University with a minor in Philosophy/Religious Studies. I've made plenty of friends (and some enemies) who I am going to miss (until I see them again, which I'll blindly assume will happen more often than it will, at least for the summer). I've learned a lot about myself and the things I believe in, the world around me and other people. I am definitely not who I was when I moved in as a freshman, and seeing those marks in my life where I grew is exciting. And it is that fact that makes me realize that I can continue on in life, to develop myself so I make my mark on the world, however small (or large), and a mark for myself. Granted, that is all pretty scary. I am pretty sure that were I to be handed $5,000 right now, I'd go escape and hike Europe for a few months, escaping all this madness and being able to be free of worry for just a little longer. No joke. -CF (Three cheers for auto-publishing drafts!)
