I graduated from college.
And today the final payment on my student loans was automatically withdrawn from our checking account.
At this moment, paying off this debt feels like a greater accomplishment than graduating from college.
And I can't help but think of one of my favorite lines from NBC's 30 Rock-
"I feel as useless as a mom's college degree." Kenneth ParcellTo my defense, my degree is in elementary education, so as a mom it hasn't been completely useless, but either way, as of today, the debt is paid in full!
"Pomp and Circumstance" has been playing in my mind since I woke up this morning. I think I'll go find a frame and some wall space for my diploma.
(Mom, can you please find my diploma and mail it to me? I think it is in a box under the bed upstairs- maybe with Stefano's magazine.)
