Just finished my graduation cap a few days ago. It's a tradition at our school to decorate our grad caps, and I figured I would absolutely go ahead and participate in that tradition. I had a number of ideas as to how to go about decorating it, but after some thought, I decided to paint my favorite Bluey quote, and add hugging Chilli and Bluey off to the side. This is pretty much dedicated to my real life Chilli, my own mom, who provided me with so much love and support all my life, and especially my four years of undergrad, so I figured this would be a perfect way to showcase that. I did show the work in progress to her via text, and she was absolutely touched, so that's a win. Speaking of wins though, in addition, when I was finishing this up at the officially grad cap decorating day, I had a gaggle of other students surrounding me watching me paint and excitedly squealing because I was painting Bluey and Chilli. Us college kids sure do love Bluey XP

Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout college and throughout my life. I can hardly wait to see what the rest of my life brings. From this moment on, I'm running my own race <3
Congrats to the class of 2023!
