| Today, I completed my undergraduate career.
And so, a new chapter of my life now begins.
Peace.

| Dreams
by Nikki Giovanni
i used to dream militant
dreams of taking
over america to show
these white folks how it shouldbe
done
i used to dream radical dreams
of blowing everyone away with my perceptive powers
of correct analysis
i even used to think i'd be the one
to stop the riot and negotiate the peace
then i awoke and dug
that if i dreamed natural
dreams of being a natural
woman doing what a woman
does when she's natural
i would have a revolution

| I really feel fortunate to have this last quarter tacked on to my undergraduate career. I'm finally getting the chance to revel in the sheer luxury of student life. Today I took some time out to reflect on such a privilege. Not everyone has the opportunity or the means to be a university student. How wonderful is it just to study? Think about it. I only have ten more weeks of this lifestyle. It's the beginning of the end. |

| When you have a million thoughts and feelings inside of you, but you have no idea how to express any of it -- now that is frustrating. I think language evolved to connect people to people. There is something about understanding and being understood that brings meaning into our lives. To be able to effectively communicate and represent yourself to someone else and to have others respond is what motivates our need for support, love, and friendship. When you have a million thoughts and feelings inside of you, but you have no idea who to express any of it to -- now that is agonizing. I sometimes find myself in this agonizing state. |
