Two Days and It will Be a YEAR

A year ago two days from now I graduated college. I feel like I should celebrate. Have a glass of wine and toast the world. Maybe take a trip and see some waves. I don’t know. What an odd and strange accomplishment… something they all said I could never do. I don’t know… I just feel like there is a need for celebration. Maybe I’ll get all dressed up and go out with some of the girls… I dunno. Hmmm. Maybe I’m just being nostalgic or something.  It’s such a strange sensation … To finally understand and comprehend that the last 5 years of my life have flown on by. It’s hard to believe that 24 is right around the corner. It’s hard to believe that I have finished 4 years of college and still don’t seem to be doing much with my life. It almost seems like another 3 would be a breeze. Maybe not so easy… but certainly very quick.  I can’t believe how quickly the last ones went by. All of those late night walks and random beach trips during finals week… all those times we snuck out passed curfew to grab crispy cremes and Starbucks… Delta Retreats… Service Projects… Dignity Village… Portland Broadway… The Flying Dutchman… Ball Pit fights in the dorm room… dropping to the floor and army crawling to the room just so no one would see us but laughing histarically at the end… trips downtown… hours in Powells… Winter Formal at the Crystal Ballroom… All School Retreat out at Camp Yamhill… oh the zipline…. watching bands at the Roseland… All nighters at the Cafe… Dancing under the stars… midnight hikes up Mt. Tabor…directing shows over in the Rehearsal Hall… Choir Tour (singing at Old Faithful)… Creation West…  road trips to California ….. Emo Pony… My little Shakespeare… yellow roses to cheer people up… cherry blossoms each spring… Swimming in the Delta Fountain…. Oh the random but beautiful memories.  College was good wasn’t it!
