The Day after Tomorrow

Today I graduated college. Well, not officially. Officially I graduate in August after I complete a science course I avoided and an art course I couldn’t get approved from when I studied abroad. However, excited to participate in commencement, I wanted to participate. I looked forward to the moment my name would be called and honors would follow my double majors. But, I used my friends cell phone to call my boyfriend to let him know there would be no such announcement. Yes, I have decided to vent my anger at Temple University’s lack of organization and trust in their students. They wouldn’t announce “cum laude” since the school was not certain I would achieve such marks during my three remaining credits—out of 120. So, as a result Temple does not announce honors in major or distinguish to students graduating in the summer. That includes myself and that is disappointing.


Tomorrow I will think about finding a job. I will also think about an apartment and moving out of my parent’s house. I will try to link these thoughts, creating a good life for my boyfriend and I.
