The Day After Yesterday

Yesterday, I graduated from college. That makes today the beginning of my life in the real world. At a young age, we're told that the real world is a big scary place where everything is hard and people will walk all over you. Life is hard and nothing is free. Blah blah blah (not the Ke$ha song).

I never really understood why people send young adults to college, a place second only to home school in its degree of insulation from reality, to prepare for a life in the real world. Do undergraduates really come out with the skills to survive in today's dog-eat-dog world?

Don't know, don't care. I'm going to school for another five years. TFG.

My BS (aptly named) in biochemistry is sort of what you might call, I don't know, useless (?). So I'm going to Duke University to further my education. Higher learning, knowledge, enlightenment, and all the like.

Only two and a half hours until my graduation party so I have to keep it short. I hope you will join myself and several of my good friends and fellow Terps as we leave College Park to go on to bigger and better things. Throughout the summer, we'll reflect on the past and look to the future. And as we go our separate ways, you can envy or pity us, or observe with indifference.

Grinnan Kevin is going to be so critical of this hastily written post.
