Taking a leap College Graduation

This past Saturday I graduated from UCSB with a BS in Biology.
It is bittersweet 
There was a point in my time here where I felt that I could not wait for the day that I would be able to leave this place 
That has changed.

In my last year in Santa Barbara I have found so many reasons not to leave and I feel that even though my relationship with this place will never be the same as it has been this past 4 years I am confident that I will be back here someday.

I have never been satisfied with the status quo, and often find that I choose the unexpected over the safe. For better or worse this aspect of my nature is becoming more prominent. 

I have another 12 hours on my lease. I will be headed home tomorrow
Going to take my amazing aunt out to buy groceries and get some rest.

I may be headed up to the Gulf Islands in British Colombia for some salmon fishing at the end  of the week!!!
 
Hope you are all safe and happy,

Dave
