GRADUATION :: a sad occasion

My family came to visit me for my graduation and it was an AMAZING weekend. Mixed with many emotions and too many things to do, I realized how much i'm going to miss UIUC and all the amazing friends i've made here. I think the whole auditorium saw me cry as i went up to receive my diploma and burst out crying. I love our graphic design class and although we'll see each other in Chicago for sure, i'm going to miss bumping into them all the time in the art building and perusing the bars of Urbana-Champaign. I love you all.... i miss you so much.
