College Graduation

If you've been following me on Twitter and Instagram, you're probably already sick of me posting about my college graduation by now, haha, but I wanted to share it on my blog as well. Graduating with an Associate's in Fashion Merchandising and a Bachelor's in Marketing from LIM College, a university where business meets fashion, what better place to have this ceremony than at Lincoln Center, the current home of New York Fashion Week.

We had Michael Gould, the Chairman and CEO of Bloomingdale's, as our keynote speaker. Scott Stringer, the Manhattan Borough President was present as well. It was such a bittersweet moment walking across the stage one by one receiving our diplomas -- and of course, it had to be me to drop my diploma in the middle of the stage! But I guess compared to the girl who fell off the stairs or the girl who slid & wobbled in sky high heels on stage, my incident was no biggie.

After, we all rushed back home to celebrate by having a barbeque with family and friends. With perfect weather, it was such a nice, relaxing time.

And my boyfriend's family surprised me with these amazing customized cookies! They were handmade by one of their friends who own M.Y. Dulce Delights. So pretty and just as delicious :)

Update

Helloooo there! :) I know that I have been MIA lately from blogs, updates, Twitter and such. Instagram is probably the only outlet that I have been frequently posting on. What have I been up to? For my last semester in college, we were required to do a full time internship for our senior co-op, and I chose to do it at Ann Taylor within the Public Relations department. My last day was this past Thursday -- but they have recently offered me a temp job for the next two weeks so I will be back in the office until then!

My last week of classes will be this upcoming Friday -- been preparing for final presentations and case studies. Can't wait for my graduation (May 31!), though I haven't planned my outfit yet, haha. Also, I FINALLY took my senior portraits which I've been putting off since last semester and picked up my cap, gown & tickets the same day. Aaaand my birthday is this Tuesday so I have definitely planned some festivities this week :)

I also extended my SneakPeeq giveaway for another week!

What have you all been up to? Catch me up while I visit all of your blogs today!

Hope you and/or mothers have an amazing Mother's Day!! :)
