Well, this is it. Just over a week until I graduate. There is going to have to be a lot of Keeping Calm and Carrying On for a while until the dust settles in our lives. To be honest I don't expect it to settle properly for the next ten years.
Oh god that was bleak.
Good job we have a day of drinking in crazy robes and Grad Ball in pretty dresses between now and then. After that, darkness, and possibly some dragons (yes i was watching Gilmore Girls during this post).
To help fight those dragons I have assembled some of my favourite quotes along the theme of new challenges and scary adult life. (All are being posted on my Instagram until the end of my grad week but there is a bonus one just for the blog)
I hope you like, and if in doubt remember the good old standby, "It's all going to be fine".
"Jump in and be scared and stick with it until it gets fun" - Luke Danes, Gilmore Girls
