i have a future!

today i … took my last final as an undergrad. picked up my cap and gown. AND accepted an internship as a public relations officer with a startup non-profit in DC that plans birthday parties for homeless children…!

i am happy & blessed.

motorcycle ride

my friend Brady took me for a motorcycle ride around campus this evening.

there was a beautiful sunset in the sky.

as we drove through campus all i could think about was how much i am going to miss this place.

so many wonderful memories.

so many wonderful people.

white trash bash.

I'm so glad that our group of friends love to get creative with parties.

We decided to have a white trash/swamp people/redneck themed party Friday.

The outfits people came up with were hilarious.

Mr. Jordan Raffety's was probably my favorite.

Extremely short shorts, plaid cut off, with a red solo cup in hand.

Dave and Brady made a big batch of summer brew and we sat on the front porch listening to good ole' country music.

Cheer to the last week of college!

yesterday i climbed this.

 

 and it was adrenaline rushing, heart pumping, and incredibly awesome!

 I decided to race these two boys.

I got the 'easy track'

Joe got 'medium'

Chris got 'difficult'

 I made them give me a 30 second head-start.

 

 I made it to the top!

I threw my body over and hung there for a few seconds in shock.

 Then I decided to 'free fall'

I don't know how high I am in the air, but basically I pulled a string and swung back and forth at a very fast pace.

 Visiting the MOERA ropes course at Mozingo Lake was on my college bucket list.

I can finally check that one off.

i don't have time to blog...

the clock is ticking...

only one week left..

i'm trying to savor every moment with friends.

i'm getting emotional and all...

Ali's Bakery

 Treated my sweet tooth to a pastry from Ali's Bakery this morning.

The hole in the wall bakery is something everyone must experience.

Ali, the baker, is beyond friendly.

He treats his customers well.

Extra cookies for everyone!

welp.

it hit me today.

hard.

i'm graduating from college in 13 days.

holy moly.

when people ask me my plans after graduation, i kindly reply...

"i don't have a future ... yet "

i like to add sarcasm to this whole mix of emotions.

i'm confident it will all work out.

the best is yet to come, right?
