My time at KU has flown by. You always think you will have more time but you won’t. I realized that this weekend after my final presentation. I realized that presentation was my last in my undergrad career and suddenly I realized that I had basically closed a chapter in my life. There wasn’t anymore time. So I went out with my friends that night and danced like I haven’t danced in years. Why? Because I had put it off. Always saying I would do it later but right now I have homework. Suddenly I didn’t have homework. I just had time to dance the last time.
So as I go into finals this week I’m not dreading them. I’m smiling because I’ve had my time in college and it’s been wonderful. It’s where I became who I wanted to me and where I learned who I am. It’s where I’ve cried, laughed, screamed and everything in-between. I don’t have to close this chapter this week but I know it’s time. So here’s to the final week of undergrad.

Time always has this way of escaping from your grasp. I'm glad you were able to go out dancing that one time before you will say good bye to these friends. I hope at least a few of them stay in your life forever. Congrats on making it to your finals, good luck!

Starting a new chapter is always so scary and exciting. It's always going to be bitter sweet but that is what life is all about! You are so radiant in these pictures, really friendly and approachable. I LOVE your sense of style, and the way you combine formal (blazer) with comfort (baggy jeans), it's so nicely balanced!
Hugs,
Alexandra

Finals- the last push before the big walk down the hill!
You can dooooo this! (I feel like I shout this at you constantly, but I know it/believe it.)
I remember feeling completely overwhelmed by my college career being over. KU was my home for 4 years, and it was really odd to close that chapter and pack up + leave not only for the summer, but forever.
Wishing you much luck this week- you're gonna smash it! Catch-up date soon? 🙂

Enjoy your last week of college! You are probably more than ready to get the heck out of there now, but you will miss it! I was not sad at all when I graduated. I graduated early (december) and did not care at all when everyone went back to school in January, but when everyone went back in the fall I was so sad! College is a great place. Enjoy your last week and enjoy graduation!!! You deserve it!
