You know, it's strange... The notion of graduation still feels very foreign and far-off to me. The bizarre part is that... technically, I graduated last semester. For some reason, I'm struggling to reconcile the fact that I've graduated with my perception that I'm just a "naive, young, new college student". And yet, here I am, picking up my cap and gown, and getting ready for a commencement ceremony in May.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm extremely proud of what I've accomplished here and excited about what's to come, I just think it hasn't hit me that I'm going to be putting school behind me (at least for a while) soon. Sure, I'm sticking around for one more semester, but this commencement really, truly marks the end of my undergraduate experience, and underscores the imminence of the "real world". Cool, but scary ;)

I don't really have anything prophetic to say; I just thought I'd share. Fun times are ahead, and I can look back on lots of good times. But the "looking back" part is what's so new and strange!
