You’d think by now I would have accepted the fact that I’m going to graduate and leave the state I’ve grown up in early next month. But I seem to be lacking that ah-ha moment. I picked up my cap and gown, I’ve started filling out my invitations, but I don’t feel like a graduate, yet. This happens to me all the time. Something significant happens, but it doesn’t sink in until later. Like when I got my driver’s licenses. I didn’t take my driver’s test until the summer I was twenty-one. But I’ve had my permit since I was sixteen. And I practiced driving since I was sixteen… Anyway when I actually passed the test and became a licensed driver it was a big deal. But I didn’t feel like a driver. I still find myself feeling guilty when behind the wheel. I freak out whenever I pass real driver’s because I just know they will realize that I’m just a phony. But I do have a driver’s licenses and now I have a cap and gown. Soon, I’ll have a diploma. I just wonder how long that will take to sink in. Hopefully, before I have a job interview that asks about my degrees.
