Welcome to 2012! (Jennifer)


Darian and I at 12:00 am on New Years

"So it's finally here huh? 2012, I am ready for anything you have to offer me!...Maybe... "



Saturday night, I winded up going to Shinto of Naperville with my boyfriend Darian, to bring in the year the best way possible...with someone I love! Showing up about 20 minutes before the countdown, I winded up getting my first drink of the night, my beloved Washington Apple! Sweet and tangy! Since Darian works for the restaurant, most of the employees at Shinto of Naperville already know of me so I walked around majority of the night talking to everyone and getting ready for the countdown!

There was so much action going on that night! From people cheering with party favors under the dome at the bar, to the waitresses at the restaurant making sure everyone in the building had a glass of champagne in their hand. I walked hand in hand with my boyfriend around the place until the final twenty seconds left of 2011. The entire building was filled with balloons and from watching the video, anyone can tell that the only lightening there was the countdown clock.

2012 finally hit, the balloons dropped and all I could think about was another year I made it. Me and Darian kissed for about a minute, just enjoying another year of our relationship, and the rest is literally history. Even though it's the beginning of the year and a supposed new start...My headache kicked in as soon as I woke up the next morning with a plate filled of 2012 responsibilities! Smh! But this is how I brought in my new year...Check out the video! A little dark but hey...you get the gist of it. HELLO 2012!!!

This Is Project Graduation!

 



Every undergraduate student has a story. Whether they are making sure they are passing their classes, staying up late and pulling all night-ers for last minute assignments, balancing time to continue staying actively involved in student organizations, or figuring out which loved ones get those six tickets for their commencement ceremony!

The purpose of this blog is to follow the lives of several undergraduate students as they prepare themselves for that big day, and to follow the lives of a few individuals that have already crossed the stage and see what post-graduation life is leading them to. Different majors, different interests, different activities...all with the same goal: GRADUATE!

This journey begins January 1st 2012. What makes this documentary different from any other is because there is no film crew. It's just college students filming our experiences...no editing, no makeup/hair crew...just us. Your Mondays will NEVER be the same! As real as it gets.
This is Project Graduation!
