Congrats, Dignan. Now get out there and make some money!

I won't be walking in my ceremony this weekend... I walked for my undergrad degree, but this time around, I just couldn't see the point. My family is too far away to be reasonably expected to attend, and the degree itself, while important to me, isn't nearly as important as my undergrad degree. I learned a lot for my masters degree, but I really grew up during the time I was in college... Walking in my graduation ceremony for my B.S. was less about being proud of what I learned in the classroom (though that was certainly part of it) and more about being proud of having grown in other areas of life.

All in all, I really wish I never had to leave college. I'd still be there today if I could find a way.
