American wedding bells

I have to admit on being slightly addicted to wedding type of shows, you know the usual on TLC. Four weddings, Bridezillas, Say yes to the dress etc. etc. I even have a tendency of saving wedding-esque pictures to either my phone or laptop that inspire me. Now to be honest, I have not been to many weddings. Weddings are not that of a big thing in The Netherlands, and (especially?) not in the cultural sphere I was brought up in. Not anymore at least. And the weddings I have attended are not at all like those fancy schmancy affairs in the U.S. or Canada.

AUC graduation 2012

After three years of blood, sweat, and tears. Countless sleepless nights, headaches from having to read and write too many academic papers, and let us not get started on those dreadful core courses such as logic and statistics. We had already been looking forward to our graduation the first day we started university. Because we were the founding class no one had any idea of what graduation would look like, where it would be hosted, or whether we would be required to wear a cap and gown.
