IT’S FREAKING OVERRRRRRRR!!
This is a long time coming, and it’s finally here! I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE!!! If you don’t know, I went to school in East Tennessee and graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Interior Architecture.
I have been in school for what feels like forever, and I finally feel like I can breathe a little. Yes, I have the stresses that come with being an adult (and balancing 3 jobs… we’ll talk about that later). Still, I am so incredibly content with life at the moment. I enjoy working hard and making money, but I love the fact that my time away from work can be focused on things I love, such as Simply Jamilah, instead of school work.
In fact, the first piece of content I made was a speech I would’ve said at graduation if A) I qualified B) I didn’t have to be filtered and C) More than two people could speak at graduation (because from what I remember, only two people spoke):
Though I spent the year finishing college virtually, COVID didn’t stop graduation from happening in-person, and for that, I am grateful.
Now, for my senior year of college in song:
when I taught college freshmen…
when I realized I am actually a sad human…
when The Great Flood of Christmas Eve happened…
when I left the basement bedroom…
when I had an intense crush most of the year…
when I quit my retail job of almost 3 years…
when I had to take 5-hour road trips for a 2.5-hour class on campus…
** Jack Harlow is the only person to get me through those trips.
when I met a dope individual two months before I said goodbye to the university forever…
** His biggest flex is Nicki Minaj follows him on Twitter.
when I picked up my regalia…
when I realized I was graduating cum laude…
when I fell asleep at graduation…
** But it’s school instead of a girl.
when I finally reached freedom…
Now that college is done, it’s time for life to begin.
I’m nervous. Scared. Most importantly: excited.
