Hey y'all, many of you have likely noticed my lack of presence within the region over the last few weeks. I wanted to take the time to explain kind of what has been going on so that y'all know I'm not just ignoring the region or my duties.
Last Saturday I graduated from university (yay) and with that came an end to a very long and painful final month at university. I learned that I needed to do two independent studies on top of an internship over the summer which meant that while I was walking across the stage and can say I was done, I wasn't really done.
On top of that, I had about 7 papers due plus a presentation during my last week which happened to be finals week, which was last week as well.
On top of all of that, I had to say goodbye to people I grew with over the last 4 years of my life, including my boyfriend of 3 years who was my best friend since the start of our fall semester in 2015, and our anniversary happened to be the day of graduation, woohoo.
The stress of school, friendships, graduation, moving out of my dorm room, saying goodbye, and trying to fit 4 years of my life into 2 big suitcases, a duffle bag, a back page, and a carryon suitcase really took a toll on my mental health. I basically crumbled Saturday night after my boyfriend dropped me off at the airbnb where my family was staying because we had to be at the airport at 6am the next morning. I'm still not quite okay in the emotional department and it has been hard trying to think back at my last 4 years of my life, but i felt like y'all deserved to know where I had been, especially because I am such a big advocate of transparency and being honest when things become just too much.
That being said, I wanted to leave a few positives we can focus on as the term finishes up, because honestly this post is pretty droopy.
We will be having a UKvision festival this weekend! If you would like to be featured on our Orange Carpet, please contact me!!!
Our roleplay needs a little more direction so we can set it up, if you have a specific character roleplay in mind, please contact me!!!
Also my graduation cap is the coolest thing ever, so I'll leave y'all with it because I think I'm clever. I did this at 1:30 in the morning and I had to be at the superdome by 8am. Needless to say, sleep didn't exist for me!
So TL;DR:
I am here, I exist, I'm adjusting to being home home again, I promise I haven't been shirking my duties, and Hexcode is awesome!
