Graduation

I finished my last final today. My undergraduate career has been completed. I'm not really sure what to do next. On one hand I'm amazingly releived to be done. I am one of the few members of my family that will have aquired a bachelor degree, and I'm pretty proud of that. I am happy that law school is in my near future, though I'm still not sure which one, or how its going to be paid for. On the other hand, I'm going to miss college. I've never spent more time screwing around in my entire life. I wish I hadn't transferred so many times, but I appreciate the different opportunites that came with my long trip. Miraculously I am still graduating in 4 years. All the other students out there graduating, I'm sure thy are often in the same boat I'm in. No clue what to do. I don't know much about insurance, much about paying real taxes, all the other things my mom has handled over the years, or which never applied to me because I didn't have enough money for it to matter. In some sense the people who didn't go to college have a leg up on me, having supported themselves for the last four years, they know all those things I don't. Statistically, in 10 years I'm going to be very glad I went to college but right now I pretty much have no clue. Regardless, I'm very damn excited to be graduating. I'm ready for what's coming my way. I think.
