The Beauty Within

Congratulations to everyone who is graduating this year.  Many of my friends are graduating this week, so this post is dedicated to them.  <3 <3 <3

One of my best friends is getting her 2nd masters from UCLA.  She does not know how inspiring she is, and how much I look up to her.  Come on, in 7 years she’s amassed a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Cell Developmental Biology (MCDB), Psychobiology, a Master’s in MCDB, and a Master’s in Public Health.  Holy smokes right?  This girl does not know the extent of her greatness.  Of course she won’t even recognize it because she’s too humble.  Is there anyone cooler than her?  I think not!

My old mentor actually got his Ph.D last quarter, so I don’t know if he’ll be going to the ceremony today.  He doesn’t read this blog, but he’s pretty cool in his own unique way.  He’s sort of like Dr. Hodgins on Bones.  Crazily smart, comes off a bit like an asshole, but really a good guy underneath it.

Then there’s my CCDC friends.  I’m sure they will be partying it up all night, or be really busy moving out of their apartments.  Whatever the case, best luck to them.

I remember this time last year.  I felt like I was on top of the world.  I had lost weight from the stress of finals due to the combination of not sleeping and eating only Special K with soy milk (the only food in the world that won’t make you drowsy, or drowsier).  My whole family came home and celebrated my graduation with me.  It was awesome.  Since then I’ve gone off to work, and that’s about it.  =P

Anyhow.. CONGRATS!
