whenever I could. I became pledge mom to a class of nine, and only wish they love me as much as I love them. I wish more that they will know my love for them and remember it long after I leave.
My roommates and I have become so much closer this semester as I have tried to make efforts to be closer to them and form bonds. I am so grateful to be a bridesmaid in one of their weddings in two short months. I am so grateful she is giving me this honor after over a year of me neglecting her and not showing her the roommate love and attention she deserves.
How will I say goodbye? I am so deeply saddened by this thought. I will have my immediate family as well as best friends from home by my side all weekend...this will help me forget how much I will miss being constantly surrounded by such amazing people. I will be living alone in Winona for one month, with sparse days at work and an abundance of time with my thoughts. I only hope I can abandon any regrets I cling to in the moments leading up to graduation.
This is nowhere near what I expected my life to be 2 days before college graduation. I expected to be engaged. Instead, I am dating again. I expected to have a job lined up (sort of). Instead, I am playing it by ear and relishing my last days of freedom before "real life" threatens to swallow me whole.

THE DAY:
I would say it went better than most other massive events in my life. There was so much pressure for it to go well.
