In honor of my formal graduation from UMass a year ago this week, I'm pulling from the signs that littered my undergraduate career.
Whenever something on campus was under construction, they'd label it as "New Dirt". These signs were promises of beautiful future facilities and better experiences for the students - but they were also totally indicative of potholes up ahead in the roads.
So, to all of you graduates from my Alma Mater and my home, I wish you the best of luck. You get to be the New Dirt now, and you get to be all excited for what lies ahead.
You don't know exactly what will be built, but you know something good is on its way. The road may be a bit bumpy, but if you keep your eyes open you can avoid those big potholes and keep on your way ahead.
In other news, you may notice that a lot of posts are missing. The page needs some serious work, and instead of looking like a giant photoshopped hot mess, I'm putting in a bit of effort, so bear with me and check back in the future. Who knows, maybe it'll look like a real, honest-to-goodness website!*
*Let's not get ahead of ourselves...
