So uh yeah, I meant to make this post yesterday, but time and I are highkey having a fallout :^) Anyway, it's official...
...
I graduated.
ing hell, after 4 years of legit crying--- 2 of those spent on RPR--- it's finally over. Some of you guys knew me then when I first came here. When I was Fantascape and all I felt like doing was coadminning and being pretty damn good at it. Back when things were slower and friendlier and life was ting roses.
Others were unfortunate enough to be there during my literal "Fall of 2015" last year and blessyouringhearts. If you're still here after that horrid time--- if you're truly STILL here with me, you guys are ing MVPs, lemme tell you. Yes, I spent half my time balancing 3 hours of sleep and dorm room 100-calorie snacks. Yes, I wasted my away on stupid things like panicking over grades and rolling in depression. Stupid, silly things that were incredibly real to so many of our worlds. I doubted so often that this was the path that I wanted (and even now, I still don't know where my life's gonna take me), but just to know... that I made it and that it's over...
It's astounding.
But that's not why I'm writing this---f uck t h e about me.
I know that lots of you are going through finals right now and honestly, I just wanted to say...
You can do it, guys... I believe in you. ;u;
Exams are scary as , and they's stay scary as . But they're far from inconquerable.
What determines your success isn't how hard you study but how badly you pursue what you want.
The exams, your teachers, your daily struggles...
These are all obstacles that will only add to your "testimony"--- your lifestory when you go back to retell it.
, just think of all the greats that went before you... The tests they endured that weren't necessarily on scantron.
But what separated those people from "the rest" is their perseverance, their willingness to fall 7 times and get up 8.
You don't have to be THAT early bird. Don't feel like you have to align yourself with the world in order to take the gold.
You do you. Be you. If everyone tried to meld into the same cookie-cutter mold, do you think history would be filled with those who made a difference?
Change takes time. Success take strength. But all you have to do is take a breath.
I swear you got this guys. Math. Science. Whatever it is that's trying to weigh you down...
They say that life is a reactor. It pushes harder the closer you are to meeting your goal.
If you're struggling right now, facing a challenge, then babies you're on the right ing path.
e u e Keep. Going.
I better not see a single one of y'all giving up or giving in. You can take breaks all you want. Rant and breathe and huff on the sidelines for a minute.
But don't you dare step out of the game. You didn't come this far to be bested by a final/exam/test/paper/hardship.
This, coming from someone who was where you all are. From someone who stayed up all night to slide her into the Honor's College. Who studied and applied and stepped on bishes for scholarships.
This... coming from someone who's officially the owner of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Call me RN Viv, guise. e u e I still have my licensure exam to take ace soon, but the diploma is legit MINE.
If this crusty lil slacker who can't even keep enough attention span for her characters can do it, you brilliant babies can too.
Now get dafuq back to studying...
And let's go change a life. <3
