I Promise You That Im Not Dead!

I promise you that I’m not dead!

Haha, did that get your attention?! Good!

I’ve been really busy with work and things in my personal life, so forgive me if I’m not online too much. Everything is good in life and I’m just doing what I do best.

Just stopping by to say, Hey! There’s a new look for NotS. Check it out! Alright, I said it. I’m out. Au revoir.

It’s official. I’m a college graduate.

...and YES(!) it is a big deal.

If you’ve visited my site, you’ve probably heard me talk about school a lot since ‘twas a huge part of my life. Well, I can finally close that chapter. After five years, I’ve finally graduated from college (which means I need to change my bio on here and other places)!

The joy and sense of accomplishment I feel is unreal. Tbh, it didn’t even register to my brain that I’d graduated until after the commencement ceremony. All the days leading up, sure, I was excited. I guess. It just didn’t feel real. It just felt like another day.

When I actually sat down and thought about how I won’t have any tests, projects, classes, deadlines, etc. to think about anymore, then I actually realized ‘Hey, dude! You graduated!’ It’s a pretty awesome feeling and I am so proud of myself.

My advice to other students who haven’t graduated is simple: Don’t give up. Keep pushing. Of course, there were times where I wanted to quit or even drop out of school altogether. Of course, I shed some tears (in private) along the way. Of course, I had self-doubt - not a lack of confidence, there is a difference - and questioned if I’d really make it through college. Now, none of that matters. I proved to myself and the world again that I have what it takes to succeed.

No one said that Life is easy. No one said that the road ahead doesn’t have twists or bumps in it....but EVERYONE did say “Don’t give up.” That is such sage advice and it pertains to anything you go through in life. The worst thing you can do is give up, because you never know when you’ll hit that breakthrough if you decide to forfeit even trying or to give up all hope. I know it’s incredibly difficult. Life has taught me that; however, Life has also taught me that those who persevere, even in hard times, are those who succeed and come out champions in the end.

Which one are you?! The one who gave up all hope? Or the one who came out the champion when all was said and done?

Confession:

1. I know this new layout is not reminiscent of summer. Sorry! I just didn’t get any inspiration to do a summer design, so here’s a pastel one.

2. I’m not really a fan of Doctor Who. I barely made it through one episode. I’m not saying that I dislike the series. I just haven’t really watched it, yet I decided to use the Tardis from Doctor Who as my next design. Go figure.

3. I’m running out of things to write about on this blog. I usually write about my life or this site, but I’m getting quite bored of that routine. Any suggestions on future blog topics? If not, cool beans.
