Anniversaries, birthdays, graduations... We all have certain large obstacles in our lives that we manage to overcome as well as those times we've just simply made it through life a certain amount of time, often with someone at our side. Is there someone you want to congratulate? Is there something you want to announce to the world you managed to do or that it's your birthday? Feel free to pop in here and do so.

Higher Education, Here I Come!

Postby Remedy » 04/23/2016 4:39 PM

Hey all! I don't normally go out of my way to gush about my achievements, but I feel like this is a noteworthy point in my life. This year on May 13, I will be graduating from high school. I've been working diligently for the past many months to apply to colleges; my first choice being Houston Baptist University.

I not only applied to the school, but also to their extremely competitive Honors Program... To do so, I had to write five short essays, send in two letters of recommendation, and complete one face-to-face interview. And because I'm interested in being a Nursing major, the Director of the Honors College had to meet with the Dean of the School of Nursing to discuss my application. He had to get her consent, because the Honors College and the Nursing School have an agreement that any Nursing major in Honors gets automatic acceptance into Nursing school after finishing the two year prerequisites.

About two weeks ago, I got my acceptance letter to HBU Honors College -
And today, I officially enrolled in classes!

It's been a long, stressful road to get here. I've had to battle mental health issues every step of the way, but as of today I'm more proud of myself and more hopeful for my future than I have ever been before!

I absolutely love Evelon and this community, so I wanted to share my happiness with you all. <3


I think back to the time when my search first began,
I left behind those shores of sand
For the endless everlasting world out there.

I know that with this burning passion driving me
Someday, somewhere I'll finally see
The light I have searched for everywhere!

YOU DID IT PICKLE AHH <33 I'm so happy that you were able to fight through all of that crud and come out victorious on the other side. I'm so proud of ya!



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

Holyyy wow, that sounds intense. And so awesome, ah I'm so happy and proud for you. You must be super proud of yourself, because that sounds like some seriously super tough thing and you did it, on top of everything else too.
Congrats man, you definitely earned and deserved it <3

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

Congratulations, Pickle! I bet you'll be absolutely splendid, especially as long as you keep that diligence! ^^ And don't be afraid to take some time off if things get too intense.

Thank you all so, so much for the kind words! I really couldn't be happier with the way things are set up right now, though I know this honors program (and the 17 hours I'll be taking the first semester) is going to be a tough ride. Receiving such an outpouring of support from you all gives me added confidence, though, so truly thank you! <3
