I'm A Graduate!

On May 11, 2013 I graduated from Milligan College with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Child Development!  I cannot believe I walked across Seeger stage for the last time...it was one of the most bittersweet moments!

I was lucky enough to have not only my parents come up for graduation, but also my grandma.  With her there I was the 3rd generation to graduate from Milligan!

Instead of writing about it all I am just going to share the fun photos! Also I was a hot mess all day so it's ok if you wonder why all of my friends look better than me!












Also I have decided to not continue on with the Blogging Everyday in May.  It was definitely fun and I was reinspired to write more! But I have been crazy busy the past couple of days and I am going on vacation today...so I will not be around here much!

Hope all you lovelies have a fantastic week! I will be enjoying Napa Valley with my family and cannot wait to share it all!

I'm Embarrased

Day 10 of this Blogging Everyday in May Challenge and we have officially reach my most least favorite question ever!  No joke, I hate this question.  What s your most embarrassing moment(s)?

 The problem is I embarrass myself on the reg so I never remember anything.  I also try to let embarrassing moments turn funny and good so that I remember them that way!  Usually it is my mouth that embarrasses me the most.  I always seem to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.  That stupid thing is always getting me in trouble!

Probably one of the most embarrassing things I have done though wasn't because of my mouth.  It was my dang feet!  It happened at camp about 2 years ago as I was the Girls Camp Director.

See it was a crazy morning in the office and I was trying to help out even though I really had somewhere else I was suppose to be.  In the midst of all the craziness I had two of my girls upset and no idea why.  One only spoke French so I was needing to find someone to translate for me so that I could make sure the girl was ok.

So I ran outside to find someone.  And well that darn porch was not my friend.  I stepped off and completely rolled my left ankle.  And I am pretty sure some expletives came out of my mouth.  That thing hurt like no one's business.


My campers and everyone around immediately could tell I was hurt since I was sitting on my ass crying.  I tell them to go get the camp nurse/doctor/paramedic.  And who do they come back with? The camp mom who claimed to be a doctor who only spoke Spanish.

I was not so nice when I told them to go get someone else because I was not about to try to translate this one!  So finally the nurse and paramedic come.  I could tell the paramedic was concerned I had broken my ankle because in the matter of 2 minutes since it had happened it was so swollen.

It was determined that I had to go to the hospital to get an X-Ray.  So my brother and sister took me.  Fortunately for me it was just an extremely bad sprain.  I was put on crutches for 2 weeks and had a golf cart to drive me around.


If it wasn't embarrassing enough that I sprained my ankle and cursed in front of my campers, when I finally was able to walk some I had to dray my foot.  The guys thought this was hysterical and would make fun of me for walking like that!

I was just thrilled that I was off the crutches and walking again!  I know my story is not that bad but like I said I don't remember a lot because I just look back and laugh and love it all!

What I Miss

I do not believe that today's Blogging Everyday in May Challenge topic could have been more perfect. As you read this I am probably crying my eyes out in the car as I drive back to Florida for the last time of my college career.

What do I miss?  

The friendships that took long days and nights of living together to create.
The college that shaped my early adult years.

And as much as I will deny this after this post is published...seeing those gorgeous Tennessee mountains!

Senior Year in Review

10 months ago I walked on campus to start my last year at Milligan.  I cannot believe how fast Senior year has flown by.  Seriously it is blowing my mine that I will be walking back across Seeger's stage accepting my diploma and then leaving Milligan for good.

This year has been truly amazing.  I have had some ups and downs but overall I am so thankful for the time I have spent here this year at Milligan! So for your viewing pleasure here are some pictures all from Senior Year! (Be prepared for picture overload)











And for kicks and giggle I stole this next photo from Lauren!

A Little Bit of Advice

Oh Blogging Everyday in May Challenge day 8 you are giving me quite some trouble today.  I just don't even know where to begin!  Our challenge is to share some advice.  Well I just am not quite sure what kind of advice I can give!

As graduation approaches we have all been talking about what comes afterwards.  Are we getting a job or are we continuing our education? Is marriage in our near future or will we be single forever? So with all that in mind, I guess my advice to day is fitting.

Live your life! Go for what you love and always strive to be the best you you can be! So many times we all get caught up in doing what everyone else is doing.  Just be you and live your life the way you want to...without apologies!

via
If you want to move to another country all by yourself DO IT! If you want to move home and be near family DO IT!  If you want to be a writer DO IT! If you want to be a doctor DO IT!  

It doesn't matter what it is just follow your hearts desire! Seek out your happiness and life and others will follow suit!
