5/19/2013

0 Comments

 
Today isn't really cynical... because today I am graduating from Millikin University.  I am receiving a Bachelor's of Music in Music Business & Commercial Music with a minor Entrepreneurship.  Over the past 4 years I was taught many things I will never remember by professors, teachers, students and faculty I will never forget.  So over the past 100 days, I wrote 100 reasons to graduate on my twitter - @Lauren_Lewis_ 


Enjoy!
