At this moment I am sitting here in my apartment in Alabama watching the Quinnipiac Graduation webcast online and I can't believe it has been a year since my own graduation. I'm, sad that I am not there in person to cheer on my friends in person, but I am cheering from here. One thing that is really weird is that the first group of freshmen as an orientation leader are now the graduates, that leaves me with a strange satisfaction when I hear their names get called. Orientation is an important piece in students being successful. It's also exciting as former Orientation Leaders graduate, they were one of the groups of students on campus I knew best.
I am so happy the QU grads got a beautiful day, according to weather.com it says its 64 degrees which is perfect. Quinnipiac looks as magical as ever today. The weather last year was not as great. I remember waking up and it was pouring, I was so nervous about having graduation be held indoors in two separate ceremonies. The weather ended up clearing up enough for graduation to be held outside, it was still sprinkling for most of graduation, but it didn't matter. It's funny how in the pictures taken at graduation it looks like a clear blue day. It didn't matter if it was a little grey and wet it was still an amazing day.
I'm having a hard time gathering my thoughts because I am typing this as I am watching graduation. Granted it was only a year ago I remember my own graduation like it was yesterday. So many things good and bad have happened in this past, it has honestly been a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But overall it has been an exciting year full of memories, experiences and growing up. I have absolutely no idea where I'll be and what I have gone through a year from today, but I can't wait to find out. As sad as ending are, new beginnings are even more exciting.
Congrats to the Quinnipiac Class of 2006
and for good measure...War Eagle,
Jenn
