Graduate with my BFA in Creative Writing
I met with my advisor. 4 weeks ago

We did my graduation audit—lots of paperwork, lots of math to calculate my GPA within my major—and I turned it in.

All I have to do is finish my courses this semester, do exit counseling for financial aid, and defend my thesis.

I can’t wait to be finished!
