For the last three years I have wanted nothing more than to graduate uni and be able to go out into the world feeling free with no commitments. However, now that I am actually graduating I am finding it to be a bit of a bittersweet moment. I will of course not miss the constant study that has been plaguing me over the last five years but I will dearly miss seeing my friends regularly, partying on weeknights with no consequences and having random days off in the middle of the week. One thing that takes away a smidgen of this sadness was how absolutely amazing my Graduation Ball was and how hard primary education graduates can party!
Even though in this photo my hair and make up look quite good, I was so disappointed in the end result and completely regret going to a different salon than normal to have everything done. Not only did my hair drop as soon as I got to the ball (which has never happened before), the foundation they used on my face was too dark and orange in comparison to my skin tone, which is completely unacceptable for the money I paid for their services. I swear it was almost like the make up artist was trying to match my face to my hair colour and not the colour of the rest of my body. These results did have me pretty self conscious for most of the night and I didn't take as many photos as I wanted because for some reason I had convinced myself I looked awful and I was paranoid about what people would think. Plus I knew I didn't look my best which honestly really sucked as I had been looking forward to this night all year.
Hello my name is AJ and I am addicted to using snapchat filters.
My grad ball was held at The Lagoon Seafood Restaurant in Wollongong and it was absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend holding a function here, not only was the food beautiful, the view and the actual room looked absolutely beautiful as well.
It honestly took me weeks to find this dress and the moment I saw it I knew it was the one and I fell in love immediately, so much so I drove an hour between two stores to ensure I could get it in my size.
It feels like the night wasn't long enough! I feel like I barely got to speak to all the people I wanted let alone dance the night away. After the Ball we all made our way to one of the clubs in town and continued the party there for a while. I ended up getting a taxi home around 3am and crashed pretty quickly. I was surprised by how much the taxi cost me, I paid $50 for a 10 minute drive! I could not believe it.
When I woke up in the morning I had one of the worst hangovers I've had since high school. Nate woke me up and told me to get ready as we were going to go down the coast and I ended up falling asleep again until he called and said he was at my place. We ended up going to Kiama, getting lunch and spent the day exploring the cute shops along the main road and the rainy seaside.
All in all, it was such a great night and I am going to miss everyone so much. I wonder how long it will be until my next formal event...
