everyone graduating (in gowns)
pictures of C, looking lovely and happy and grown up with her perfect boyfriend (and perfect life in general)
people still in Uppsala, have been for the whole year, having a wonderful time and having a great group of friends (while I've been miserable and alone in this horrid town. somehow managed to avoid being bothered by this until now)
people saying how much they will miss their ~college years (these have been some of the most miserable of my life)
BUT
I talked to my mom and she said she was thinking we should have a family gathering to celebrate my birthday/graduation (yes!!) and that we should have a little birthday for me and my boyfriend (our bdays are only a few days apart) while we're in seattle, so I could pick a restaurant
which means after several years of not really celebrating my birthday (it's always during finals week so) there will be like 4 times if I celebrate here with friends, and then with my boyfriend and family, and then if we did my little plan of just going to grandma's and baking a cake one afternoon~ (we always have carrot cake, it's tradition. and my grandma would love to help C:)
