I CANNOT believe I am graduating tomorrow! I keep thinking that I'm going to wake up and realize that I have more classes left to take, papers to write, and books to read from. Yet these thoughts of having more time at college will all fade tomorrow as reality sets in at BYU's commencement ceremony.
I remember like it was yesterday, going to my brother, Chris's college graduation at BYU in 2008. That was three years ago and yet I feel like I just attended that momentous occasion. I remember so clearly listening to the graduation music that plays as the graduates walk in and being overcome by emotion at that point. That same feeling came over me when I went to my sister, Jenni's high school graduation a few months after Chris' took place. Maybe I'm just emotional, but when I hear the graduation march music, I feel intense emotions. I think the reason for this is that it always makes me think of change. Life keeps changing. People keep growing up. Time keeps passing. The graduation music stands for all that I am now, all that I've been in college, and all that I will be in my future. I have reached this point in life and now is the time to embrace it like never before! My only hope is that tomorrow, I will not cry when I hear the music as I walk into the Marriot Center at BYU. I would be embarrassed and who wants to mess up their makeup? Hahaha! Not me.
I was looking at some hilarious videos of things that went wrong at
graduations in the past and I cracked up laughing at many of them! I
REALLY hope that my clumsy self will not make people remember me as
being "the girl who tripped at BYU graduation!" I am determined to not
let this happen:
