MERCY UNIVERSITY : GRADUATE OF 2025 👩🏽‍🎓🎓

I firmly believe that achieving two milestones is more remarkable than one. I'm thrilled to hold my official diploma from Mercy University, having graduated Cum Laude with Honors in English Arts. This accomplishment is a testament to hard work and dedication, and I'm proud to see my name on this diploma. My son witnessed me walking the stage, and it's a memory we'll both cherish. 🥰 🎭❣️ 💪🏾

- I hid my middle name because not much to it 🤣. It's supposed to be on the degree 📜! That's how you know it's official 😉.

& Yes! I am the Grammar Police 🖖🏾, and I will correct you 💀.

I ALSO CROCHETED MY DRESS AND MADE MY CAP AS WELL! 🥰

... Read moreAchieving an official diploma and graduating with honors is such a monumental feeling, and I'm still on cloud nine! For those of you wondering what it takes, or how to make your graduation day extra special, I'm here to share some insights from my own journey. First, let's talk about 'Cum Laude.' It's Latin for 'with honor,' and it's a recognition of academic excellence. For me, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree Cum Laude from Mercy University was about consistent dedication, not just cramming before exams. It meant actively participating in my English Arts classes, spending countless hours at the library, and genuinely engaging with my professors. My biggest tip? Don't be afraid to ask for help or seek clarification. Utilize your university's resources—writing centers, academic advisors, and study groups can be lifesavers! Building relationships with your professors can also open doors to deeper learning and mentorship, which truly enriched my May 2025 experience. Now, for something fun: the cap and gown! While the traditional Mercy University cap and gown are classic, I believe in adding a personal touch. For my graduation, I actually crocheted my own dress and meticulously decorated my cap. It was a labor of love, making my outfit truly unique to me. If you're thinking of personalizing yours, consider what truly represents your journey. I've seen amazing caps with photos of family, inspiring quotes, or even playful designs like 'TJ's Bomb Ass Mom' – it’s a wonderful way to honor your biggest supporters and your achievements. Whether you're painting, embroidering, or adding embellishments, making your cap and gown a reflection of your personality transforms it from a simple garment into a cherished keepsake. Looking back at my entire university experience, including navigating challenges from my first year straight through to my 'second year university' milestones and beyond, it really felt like a marathon. There were times I doubted myself, balanced parenting with coursework, and pulled all-nighters. But every step, every challenge, was part of earning that diploma. The key is to stay passionate about your chosen field and remember your 'why.' For me, it was my love for English Arts and wanting to set a strong example for my son. That motivation fueled me through the toughest times. So, for current students, cherish every moment, utilize every resource, and don't forget to celebrate every small victory on your path to graduation!
