When it came time to buy class rings my mom told me not to get one because i’d never wear it after senior year and it was a waste of money. She told me graduation she’d get me a pretty ring that id actually wear. I kind of forgot that she said that until she brought it up last week. She told me to start looking up rings and at first i’d thought she’d give me like a hundred dollars for it and then put another few hundred in my bank for graduation ( she’s all about saving money ) so I was looking at tiffany rings and ones i thought would be in the price range. When she handed me a check for 300 dollars for a ring on grad day, I have to say I was surprised. Today I picked out the most beautiful David Yurman ring I thought i’d never get. It’s simple and classy but I love it. I just don’t want to wait ten days to get it.

Not to mention my brother and sister probably spent over 200 dollars in grad gifts for me ( all vera bradley and gator stuff ) plus gave me a 100 dollar check to put in my bank.

And my grandma and all my aunt’s and uncles have all been sending me checks in the mail, which will all be put in the bank, but I am spending 200 on a Michael Kors bag for college.

My family is pretty fucking awesome right now. So truly blessed.

I just graduated high school. They said my name, I walked across the stage, threw my hat in the air, took pictures, got presents and I get my diploma in a few days.

It seems unreal. And everything that I thought I would stay the same has changed.

I’m just blessed to have my whole family and best friend’s there. It truly meant a lot.

And the fact my ex’s mom texted me throughout the whole time, and he couldnt even look at me and smile, really said a lot. I basically meant nothing to him after the four years on and off we’ve been together.

As much as I’m sad to move on and how much i’ll miss st thomas. I need this. I need to make new friends (badly), meet new boys, and just completly start over.

and I think I’m ready for that…
