Life After Graduation

Living with three people makes things easier.  It allows for things to be spread out and almost always solves the issue of one person doing all of the work.  This is easily accomplished by way of a chore chart.  So what did The Queen and I sit down and do one night?  A chore chart!

Packing while balancing class work can be hard enough, but to add in work, a theatre production, and a BA thesis makes it miserable.  Now, slap on the fact that it is your graduating semester and you have 3 months to get out of your house and you are in for a hell of a time.  Enter my boyfriend. An absolute sweetheart to the end, supportive like none other, and graduating a
