Today I finally graduated from college. This has definitely been a long road. I started in January of 2004 and finished in April of 2010, 6+ years! Well...there is a reason for the long haul. I did take off three semesters to work in Alaska so I could pay for it. I’m glad to say that Kaitlyn and I are debt free upon finishing college, which is something in its own right to be thankful for. My whole family showed up and it was fun.
To be quite honest, I was never quite sure if I was actually going to graduate. The university has been so finicky about my taking classes at BYU in Provo and not wanting to accept them. Luckily, I was able to take my petitions to the Dean of my college, who just happened to by a former Bishop of mine, and he gladly accepted the credits.
Now, it’s time to move on and start working. Am I scared? Absolutely. College is just so predictable that it just feels safe going back because you know what’s coming. The real world is quite the opposite. I guess it’s time to simply “man up” and brave “The World”.
