Closure
It was only recently that I found out valedictorians don’t exist in college. I didn’t believe Sonja when she told me that because “What about Elle Woods? She was valedictorian at Harvard!” but she assured me that it was probably for dramatic effect. Regardless, I have always loved the sappy graduation speeches. They are always filled with memories and inside jokes only your classmates would understand and people cry! Alas, with graduation being cancelled I was robbed of these moments where I could throw my grad cap in the air as I envision it dramatically falling down in slow motion as an epic song plays in the background. There will be no pictures under the bell tower, no prexy's pond jump, and no proposals. (Is that just an Elle Woods thing too?) Coming to this realization has felt exactly like getting the wind knocked out of me. Everything seems to be moving so quickly and the life that I had at Concordia has now been cut short...
