Graduation

It has been a busy weekend, and to top it off my memory is full on my laptop so I have not been able to transfer my photos from yesterday and today yet. However I will add some photos of my graduation I took on my phone to keep the ball moving for me. Hopefully by Tuesday I will be caught up since I have my cake decorating class tomorrow!
Another day full of inspirational speeches. Most of my speakers discussed an English major’s least favorite question, “What are you going to do with that?”
Surprisingly there are a lot of fields or jobs one can use an English degree in (hurray), but it does not easily translate into reading books all day (darn).
Everyone has to figure out their own answer, and I am still searching for mine. I hope it comes to me soon so that when anyone asks what I will do with my degree, I’ll have my answer.

Once again I walked the line for Berkeley’s General Commencement. While I did technically finish up in the Fall, I felt I was closer to the Class of 2012.
It was an interesting ceremony, and I did not stay until the end of the ceremony (the name calling took 2 hours long), but I liked a lot of what our guest speaker Dr. Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, said.
The most important lesson I took away from his speech was learning to say “Yes.” Being optimistic and willing to try new things and meet new people. That and what type of future do you dream for the world around you.
I personally dream of an end to poverty, which might sound weird when all I blog about is designer clothes I thrift and seem to have an endless amount of. While at times I feel I am a little materialistic, I am always thankful for what I have gained in my life. I was lucky to be born into a hard-working family, meet great friends, and be able to earn the things I buy.
I am most thankful to have been able to attend the college of my dreams, and while I am uncertain about my future, I can still control what I do, and I hope I can do something that will be meaningful to me as well as for other people.
