GRADuation

Has it been 2 years already? Seems like just yesterday I was clueless about my life but decided to give school another go. And I'm SO glad I did! I think I've learned more about myself in these last 2 years than maybe any other time in my life. You're twenty-somethings are an exciting time and I have and will continue to make the most of them before I get old. I'm pretty sure I've never worked as hard as I have these past 2 years and it will take me a good long hibernation to catch up on all the sleep I lost just this semester. I've been given massive amounts of grown-up responsibility which has been fun and busy, but it's taught me how to slow down too. What I've learned about God, among several things, is that He is sure about Rock Hill. I wasn't ok with that 2 years ago. I wasn't ok with all of my best college friends leaving town and me living by myself and going to the same church, keeping the same job, and living in this town with nothing to do. Turns out I was wrong about every bit of that. This place couldn't be more perfect for me, and on top of that, where God chooses to put me isn't for me. It's so HE can get use out of it so that's even cooler. I've also learned how to measure someones body density using some crazy formuala I'll never see again and that a negative caloric balance results in weight loss. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'll be done with school forever but I gotta say I'm pretty dang proud of myself. A higher degree, as common as they might be these days, are hard as crap. If you don't beleive me, I'll hand you my 62 page thesis for your reading pleasure. And after graduating as a Master of Science in Sport and Fitness Administration, I'll get up and go to work the next morning. Not many people can say that. So overall I'd say these past 2 years were well worth it, Go Eagles!
