New Beginnings

As I sit in my empty room tonight, I reflect on the good memories with good friends from over the past two years at apartment 234. Not only am I ending a two year residence, I am officially beginning the next chapter of my life.

When I first moved into the Commons, I had a ponytail and some Elvis Presley-like sideburns. The personal transformation from my first day here to tonight is great. I will leave tomorrow with a typical haircut and relatively modest sideburns (one day, bro, I will cut them).

Surprisingly, I am extra cheery about the transition. Not that I am ready to be an old fart just yet; however, I am excited to begin being a college graduate. Tomorrow when I wake up I will be sad. But like the Dr. Seuss told me growing up, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." As I depart from the place I called home for the last two years, I will be smiling.

Salute!

I wasn't aware you had this blog. I feel so left out.

P.S. You should focus on updating your blogs rather than making a new one every 2 days. ha ha.
