The List: 5 Things, 5 Years

Next week marks five years since I completed college. WHAT? When I think about these last five years, the most prevalent thought that comes to my mind is how much I wish I had known the day I was released graduated from college.

I probably would have traveled through these last five years much differently if I had taken a chill pill that May and realized that I would be robbing myself of some of the best moments of my life if I didn't. But I didn't and I did. Only within the last year has that completely hit me. I've always been a late bloomer, so I thought I'd share this bit of knowledge with others who may, like me, have forgotten the beauty in this moment called graduation. 

So, here are 5 things I wish I had known 5 years ago.

No matter how you walk away from graduation – 4.0 or 2.5. Next move mapped or no clue – remember that these are some of the best moments of your life. You're growing up and it's a little scary, but it can be quite an adventure if you open up to it. 

Always in love,
