Funny how things line up sometimes.
I finished my master’s on St. Patrick’s Day, the exact same year the U.S. hits its Semiquincentennial, its 250th anniversary. (Yeah, I had to look up how to spell that one.)
Feels like one of those rare coincidences you couldn’t script if you tried.
No more tuition payments either. Paid it all out of pocket, so that weight is finally off my shoulders. Huge relief. 🙌
For the diploma, I ordered basically the same frame as my bachelor’s. The only upgrade? Getting to include the regalia tassel this time. It’s a small thing, but it genuinely brings a surprising amount of satisfaction.
(Yeah, I cropped the picture so my full name stays private.)
2026 really came through.
