My first day of school and my last day of school
For the last 5 years of my life, I have been in the town of Mount Pleasant attending Central Michigan University. This past Saturday I graduated from CMU with two Bachelor of Science degrees, a degree in Art with a concentration of Fine Art Photography and another degree in Journalism with a concentration of Photojournalism. It’s hard to believe that this coming August I will not be packing my bags to move back down to Mount Pleasant, instead I will be packing my bags to move into a house for Liz and I. Though I’m enjoying the thoughts of no more tests, no more studying, no more papers, the best thing about graduating from college is, no more Mount Pleasant. Here’s to eighteen years of school and to moving on to bigger and better things!
