Lucy
I always believed the act of tossing graduation caps at the end of a
commencement ceremony only occurred in the movies. If that was the case,
then I was the main character in my own blockbuster film—and I never
wanted the credits to roll.

Every single person in the auditorium screeched and yelped as the
announcer declared us The Class of 2023.
A medley of caps were launched above while rainbow confetti trickled
on down. Some chucked theirs up so high you’d think they were trying to
hit the light beams on the ceiling. Others didn’t go higher than a foot above
their head.
But I slowly removed my cap and held it out in front of me.
I skimmed my fingertips over the finest black velvet, then gathered the
silk tassel in the palm of my hand. Every fiber of my body burned, and for a
moment, I was lost in my own line of thinking. It was as if I was falling into
the pile of quicksand known as reality and I was being swallowed whole.
My future was in the palm of my hands—literally.
“My Lucy! How do you feel?” I was brought back down to earth as my
best friend, Gracie, shouted at me over the roars. I picked my head up and
searched for her voice in the row before me.
I gave her a faint smile as I gripped my diploma tight to my chest. What
was I to say? I was thrilled, of course. I was relieved, tired, scared, but one
thing for certain, I was ready. I had never felt more ready and motivated
over something in my life.
My words were scrambled like the thoughts inside my brain, so much so
that I mumbled a concoction of strangled noises and gave Gracie two
awkward thumbs up.
I wove through the displaced chairs and briskly hugged those in
passing, commemorating our solidarity. There was the guy with the Buddy
Holly glasses that I often saw at the bookstore and the group of girls who
played with a bunsen burner in the back of chem lab one year of undergrad.
Whether I truly knew them or not, we were all in the same boat for the last
four years and we were the group that didn’t sink. We swam. And now we
are going to swim straight into a much larger body of water.
Working towards my medical school degree was the longest, most
rewarding time of my life. Even after countless nights of having my hand
glued to a coffee pot, and welcoming the sunrise before I had even fallen
asleep, I never once regretted choosing this life.
The array of feelings was paralyzing.
I wish I could bask in it for a sliver of a moment. But like clockwork, I
immediately began thinking about what was next. There’s no rest for the
wicked. I had a residency program that was starting up in the fall and I
cannot lose my touch now.
Just because the summer left room for a break, didn’t mean I would
take one.
