I’ve been at this establishment for 6 years. Through the ups and downs I was here at this school. I guess it’s a bitter sweet finish. I can be proud I am graduating with not one but two degrees, in criminal justice and communications concentrating in culture. I have accomplished a lot. Tomorrow I get an award for showing diversity and I get to proudly display it at graduation and I got outstanding classroom citizenship as well.
On this journey I have gained friends and lost some as well but the memories of all the good times will for ever be embedded within my memory. I wouldn’t trade this college experience for anyone else’s. Mistakes had to be made so I could learn and grow, so they were more like life lessons. I am grateful for the people who I can still rely on and who where there through the tough times.
I can say even though I’ve made fun of this school countless times, it will always be a home. In 4 days I leave until tuesday, then Tuesday I move in for senior fest. 11 days from today I will be walking across the stage getting my diplomas for this 6 year journey I have made toward adult hood.
After graduation, I have about 1 month until I start my job as girls division director, within that one month span I might be moving. It’s a lot of change and I may not know if I’m fully ready for it, but I’ll never know until I try. Once camp is done, I will be looking for a full time or two part time jobs.
Thank you Westfield state college for the ups and downs and this bitter sweet end to a college career. Hello real world hear I come, timid but I will make my mark on the world someday and in some way. Just watch!

I can honestly say that this was the best spring break I have ever had! I got to spend a lot of time with my brother, nieces and nephew. I loved every  minute of it. I am really sad my brother has to go, but I the time I spent made up for it. He’ll be back in September or maybe later but when the Army calls you have to go. I’ll miss you booger butt but I love you! <3 

Very happy I’ve been able to spend time with my brother before he is back in Missouri for 6 months or more. Knowing he won’t be at my graduation, makes me upset, but I know it’s because he’s preparing the rookie troops for the adventures they may face in the future. And for that I know I can’t not be too upset. I guess overall I am sad but proud of my brother. I know he wants to be there but sometimes there are more important matters at hand and this just happens to be one of them. So for now I’ll spend time with him because after this week I won’t see him until September/October if I’m lucky. I love him a lot because he’s my booger butt older brother Brad and I’m proud of him.

Good with the bar For a while

People and their ignorance never ceases to amaze me. I find it comical how people run their mouths on things they know nothing about. I love life :)

Darryl its days like today when I wake from dreaming of you cuz we were hanging that makes me miss you. I wonder what it would have been like to hang out with you but I’ll never know. I miss you buddy RIP
