So This One Time I Graduated College

Well after six years I have a college degree from Westminster College. It took so long but at least I did it. I'm gonna miss finding easy parking spots, swimming in a 5ft deep pool and being the loudest person on campus.  But now I can have some new adventures: a job, a few fun vacations, masters degree, husband, a P.hD, and kids. Who knows what will happen but at least I know I can figure it out!

It Does Exist!!!

No more Rachel Berry rants for now regarding who I look like.  As of Sunday I found the OFFICIAL Dorothann clone: Ivy Morris from Upstairs Downstairs. See the resemblance?

So I Graduate This Year.

I've been in college since fall 2007.  Flashforward six years later and I'm DONE.   I just barely received my graduation evaluation last week. A graduation evaluation is when the registrars office sends you a letter saying what else you need to complete your degree.  I graduate from Westminster College May 2013 with a B.A. in Communication.   After six long years of hard work I can finally do what I want. WHATEVER I WANT.  I remember someone told me once,"Do what makes you happy." Well, finally that will happen and school won't be in the way of it.
Laters,

5 Years Later...

Dorothann 2007

I've been out of high school since 2007. I'm old.  I admit with what I've done the past 5 years I had to push myself.  It wasn't easy.  In fact it was REALLY hard.  Its called growing up. Change.  I don't plan on attending high school reunion at Olympus. Its not important.  Why brag about my accomplishments? Why put myself in a situation where I will still be judged for being me?  Its not worth it.
 I don't mean to justify but in the past 5 years I:
    Went to college even though it was very hard sometimes...
    Had some self-realization moments, which were not easy to accept...
    Started dating...
    Accepted having a learning disability...
    Accepted that it would take longer for things to happen for me and forcing stuff wouldn't work...
    Traveled outside the U.S. twice...
    Started exercising and got a six-pack...
    Ate healthier...
    Did something selfless...
    Realized what remorsefulness truly was...
    Finally got what I wanted...
    Did the things that I wanted to do...
    Worked in a grocery store until I couldn't handle it anymore...
    Got help when I wasn't doing too well...
    Became a power player in student government and on campus...
    Stood my ground and said "No"...
    Made new friends...
    Learned being impulsive backfires...
    Learned to be a leader...
    Tried something I never did before...
    Believed in myself...
    Stopped saying a man would never want me...

The list goes on and on.
