The start of a new chapter...

As I close a chapter in my life, I am about to start a new one. As I make the move from NC State to Florida State University, friends have asked me to keep in touch. One person suggested that I start blogging so that it would be easier for everybody. I never really thought about blogging but I thought it would be fun and interesting. It would also be more convenient for me rather than telling everybody what I am doing. Granted, I truly wonder how long I can keep this up. Oh well...

Today was truly an exciting day for me. After four years of being an undergrad, I have finally graduated from NC State. I'm glad that I didn't have be a 5th year senior or super senior. No offense to my friends who are one. The big commencement ceremony was a blast. I don't know why people criticize it. It's a whole environment because you get to be with fellow graduating seniors, Masters students, and Doctoral students. Also, we got to observe the commencement speaker get interrupted by a random video of some surfer named Dusty Payne surfing. It was a good prank by whoever did it. Finally, you got to hear John Mickey give an awesome speech.

Now that I've graduated, I'll be Selby Alvin Lo, B.S. It does look weird though. I guess Selby Alvin Lo, M.S. looks a little better. I can't wait for that though. I'll be there in two years. If you don't already know, I will be starting school in August at Florida State University. I will be pursuing my Masters degree in Higher Education. My graduate assistantship is with the Student Activities Center located in Oglesby Union. I will work with Student Organizations and the Student Organization Advisory and Review Board. I will move down in the first week of July to get started with that.

To wrap up this starting entry in my blog, I just want to thank all the friends, staff, and faculty that I have come to know at NC State. I want to thank everyone of you. It's been an amazing ride. We've created memories that will last a lifetime from climbing mountains in China to staying up late at night to talk about useless things to serving homeless people in Rome. These are opportunities that I would not have been able to have if I didn't go to State. THANKS!
