I graduated...

The 3 dots after the title of this post is the whole point of the post. As I told family, friends, random people when the topic arose that I was graduating; I would receive the great bout of enthusiasm. The "Wow, that's amazing!" "Congratulations!" "That's quite an accomplishment!" started pouring in, and became more and more often the closer my graduation approached. The odd thing is, I honestly did not feel like I was graduating. As many times as I said it, when I purchased my cap and gown, when I called and made arrangements for friends and family to attend, it just never hit me that I was graduating college. Even when I woke up the morning of my graduation all the way through the ceremony, it felt like just another day;oh and I happen to be graduating. It's so odd how once you get older things change so drastically. I remember daydreaming of the day I would graduate college and get a job and its come and gone already and I cannot believe it. It's very surreal. Like those movies when people are in a situation but to them its like a dream they are just coasting right through without really acknowledging it. I wonder how many other people feel the way I did?
