1. Not lose my digital camera with all of my pictures from high school graduation
Seriously. Where did it even go? I'm convinced it's buried deep in the sand on Crystal Beach somewhere. Maybe someday I'll find it washed up on the shore…okay no. It's gone, and thankfully so are all awkward pictures of me from graduation.
2. Learn how to curl my hair before the age of 24
I teach middle school. Every student in my classes can curl their hair to absolute perfection and I'm still working on not burning my face with the curling iron. I rarely have time or energy in the morning to curl or even straighten my hair so I usually go the air dry route. In the meantime, I am surrounded by 13 year olds who look more put together than I do! WHEN did 8th graders learn to do their hair? I don't even think I used a blow drier in 8th grade. I blame it on social media.
3. Decorate the top of my cap for college graduation
Because this is really cute and I just wish I had done it. I could do it now, but it wouldn't be authentic. My college graduation was filled with super authentic fights with my family and naps in my best friend's bed while her mom packed up the rest of our stuff. I would say it was a pretty perfect day all around.
4. Not gain the freshman…20
Because they were really hard to lose again. But I learned a lot while doing it and the mac n' cheese at Cranston was TOTALLY worth it. Am I right?? Besides, I was a little bit chunky in the above picture, but I was in LONDON and life was absolutely beautiful!
5. Walk for my Masters Graduation
BUT I actually moved to Arizona before it happened and as much as I would love to have one of those sweet hood things, I really like Arizona and I couldn't take one more DAY of a long distance relationship.
I mean really, my life has been pretty incredible.
There might be some things that I see on social media and wish I had done, but I really don't think I would change any piece of my life. Who knows if it would have turned out the way it has? I am pretty thrilled with the way my life is going.
BUT the fact that every 8th grader's hair looks better than mine at work on a daily basis will never be okay.
Love & Light,
Leah
