I've spent 16 years or so of my life getting to this moment and it still hasn't really sunk in yet that it's over. We finally finally broke the cycle - neither of my parents even finished high school, and yet they've played such a key motivational role in finishing school. I started from basically nothing, and the fact that I'm even where I am today is a miracle.

Since I actually started interacting in the fandom about a year ago (after lurking for years 💀), I think I am significantly happier than I was. I've met so many people that I couldn't fathom being without, and I have one particular danger noodle that I'm happy to call my bf. Y'all keep me going, I love you, and I thank you endlessly for that. 💙🦈

(tl;dr - BIG BLAHAJ FINISHED COLLEGE AM HAPPY YAYYYYYY 🥳)
