The end of another era...




From originally being enrolled in Conservation and Wildlife Biology with a double major in Marine Science at Murdoch university in Perth, WA, to Screen and Sound Studies at the same university for one year and then a massive, unplanned and surprising (for me most of all I think) to Avondale College in Central Coast NSW studying Communications and International Development Studies, it has been an epic journey through these last four years!

But I wouldn't change one bit of it. Through all the anger, tears, frustration, homesickness, absolute certainty that I made the wrong choice, determination to prove that I can do it, here we are. the final home sprint- the finish line so close I can almost feel the ribbon. And along with me are the best friends in the world that a girl could ask for, six artistic, amazing, blonde kindred spirits whose concern and love for those around them and passion for helping others less fortunate, who speak out for what they believe in and constantly make me strive to be the best person i could possibly. Their love and support I have come to rely on like I never thought possible, and the knowledge that they will always be there for me makes me believe that anything is possible and the world is mine to claim.

From mad may, to movie nights, chaffs, bi-lo runs, yummy thai/paulies/aladdins/indian, many, many train rides and flights all over the country (so much so that I think I have a super bag for it to have survived) as well as study tour to Nepal and Thailand that changed my life forever, late night fondue and much dancing Avondale has been a great experience that I wouldn't change for anything, no matter my love/hate or should I say hate/love of the place, coming here was definitely on of the best decisions of my life.

As the scariness and sheer excitement and relief of graduation approaches and the unknown of next year looms overhead- the questions of what will you be doing next year? spin round and round me till I'm dizzy and I end up with less idea than before they asked me, I do know that whatever I do decide to do with the next few year, to the rest of my life- it is going to be one hell of an adventure that I am so totally excited about!
