Words and Light

Today, I bought my cap and gown for May graduation.

Oh, and my journalism school tassel.

I’d like to say that today’s acquisitions constitute the last of my financial contributions to the school — but we all know that’s not true.

I’d like to say that my college education has helped me secure a stable, well-paying, with-benefits job following my graduation — but we all know that’s not true (yet).

Terrified? Yes, I am.

Thrilled? That, too.

But mostly terrified.
