I wasn’t prepared for how this weekend made me feel. I knew college graduations were happening. I knew my boyfriend and basically all my friends were graduating. I made the choice to attend Purchase. I knew I was going to have to there for 4 years. I knew that I was going to be graduating late because of it. I also know that this school is where I belong if I want to have any type of career doing what I love. It still didn’t prepare me for the disappointment and longing that came with this weekend. I should be graduating this coming school year. I should be moving on with my life, working a job that is going to lead me even closer to my dream. Instead I will be going into my sophomore year of college again. Watching all my friends get their lives together. This wasn’t what my plan was, not even close.

But I should be happy, right?
