Scrolling through my instagram posts, it’s crazy to think that it’s already been three weeks since I graduated. While that might not sound like a long time, I spent the majority of my years at Wake ignoring the possibility that I’d have to graduate and leave at some point. Funnily enough, looking over these pictures don’t make me sad. Don’t get me wrong–I miss all of my friends and the life we built together but now looking over these pictures all I can do is smile and be thankful for everything (and everyone) I’ve encountered.
Graduation weekend started out with the Baccalaureate ceremony. I wasn’t expecting much (mostly because I’m not super religious) but Jonathan Walton, who is a professor in the divinity school at Harvard, made an incredibly inspiring speech that honestly made me want to be a better person… Which I think i really saying something considering that he only spoke for 20 minutes max!
