Today marks the end of my time at University of Delaware. Coming to this campus my first weekend, wide eyed and feeling incredibly lost, I had no idea the amazing people, opportunities, and experiences the next fours year held in store. Sitting on the field dressed in a ridiculous blue robe as all of my fellow graduates filed in, I looked at the amazing women and mentors from the art conservation program that surrounded me and realized how truly lucky I was to have had the chance to laugh, study, commiserate, and sometimes cry with them. As I searched the crowd and spotted friends that I played countless rounds of coup and ate an ungodly amount of chips and queso with, I realized how all of the work and stress was worth being here.
I know this is incredibly sappy, but I can easily say on behalf of almost every graduate that it was and is incredibly hard to leave the comfort of the University of Delaware and wander off to new places and people. Although this is an end, it is also an exciting beginning.
Coming full circle as my blog comes to a close, my boxes are stacked in my room this time waiting to be unpacked. Thank you so much for reading and following. This is not a goodbye, it is a see you later!
