On Mother's Day weekend, I officially graduated from UNC! It feels good to officially be DONE! Four years have never felt so long. :)
Mom, Dad, the Kid and I stayed in Durham for the weekend. It was so much fun to take them to all of my most favorite places in Durham/ Chapel Hill!
We went and ate dinner on Friday night at Bull City Brewery. Seriously one of my FAVORITE places to eat! Everything is SO GOOD! Plus, they have fried pickles. I love fried pickles. :)
The Kid ran around Chapel Hill with me and my bff Christina to take pictures for us in our caps and gowns. We aren't very good at being serious.
When we actually calmed down, the Kid managed to get some pretty good pictures! It was raining that day, so I wasn't sure if we would get any good shots. BUT WE DID!
We went back to Peabody Hall.. AHH, memories! This is where we took all of our education and methods classes. Basically, we lived in Peabody for 2 years. Two.. long.. years. We HAD to go back in our gap and gowns! And also practice our teacher hand writing on the boards of the biggest lecture classroom. :)
We made sure to stop at the Old Well, too. Had to get one last drink for good luck!
...and here's my tassle.
The School of Education ceremony was in the Dean Dome! Had to get a picture center court!
Shaking hands with the Dean!
THEY GAVE US DIPLOMAS!
Jump Around!

At the UNC ceremony... I'm that one down there... in the blue.
And what do the newest alumni do after they have officially been declared graduates?
...jump in the fountain, of course!
It seems crazy that I'm already DONE with my undergraduate career. I loved (almost) every minute at Carolina. I loved the campus, I loved the traditions, I love the people who taught me, and I love the friends I made along the way. I can't imagine ever completing this chapter of my life at another university!
I'm a Tar Heel, for sure!
