"I wake up in the morning feeling like P-Diddy, I grab my glasses, I'm out the door I'm gonna hit this city..." I push the covers of my face and start singing along to my radio alarm, I get out of bed and move to the beat of kesha's song making my way to the small kitchen of my apartment.

- Good morning New Jersey!!! The sun is up and birds are chirping, stay tune for more hits.

I grab a box of Froot Loops, and pour some milk on a bowl, I look for a spoon and sit in the window sill. "Before I leave I brush my teeth with a bottle of jack, cause when I leave for the night I ain't coming back"  I sing before getting a spoonful of cereal in my mouth. I may not look like P-Diddy in the morning, but I would like some alcohol after breakfast. I finish and washs the bowl before I get in the shower for my big BIG day. GRADUATION DAY!!! I had survived to 4 years of hard partying and studying, and kept my place as every teachers pet in Princeton. Engineering was the big deal, no one thought I could make it. No one except my dad, he sadly passed away two months after I moved to campus. I keep ridiculously dancing in the shower until the song ends, I wash my hair to the beat of music, and when I finish Jason Mraz's I'm Yours, is blasting out of the small speakers over my desk. 

I dry my hair and then try my best to tame my brown curls into waves, I get my hot pink dress on, It fits perfectly and its just 2 inches above my knees, I get my bunny sleepers on and continue with my make up. Or well, my so called make up, I don't look like a clown at least. 

I hurry to get my purse and keys, and run downstairs to my car, I'm really obsessed with punctuality and I still need to get my cap and gown from the laundry , it's a short drive, but I really need to get ready for my valedictorian speech. Cassidy, my best and closest friend, still doesn't understand how I made it, I had a social life and managed to get straight-A's in almost every course I took, except Phys ed. I HATE phys ed.

I finish my speech, and for my surprise get an standing ovation from the alumni, I walk carefully down the short stairs with my huge brand new and absolutely gorgeous nude Loubutin Pumps, then walk back to my seat next to Cass.

- Oh, that was so emotional, I almost forgot you had feelings - she said after I occupied my place

- Hahaha, you're so funny. I glare at her and she widely grins with her perfect white pearls. She looks beautiful with her gold blond hair put in big curls over her chest, she is really beautiful and considered a sex symbol among the nerds and decent guys of our class. I even recall this lesbian chick who chased her for 2 months to ask her on a date, Cassie's look of fear was epic! I on the other said was known as Cassie's friend, Other hottie, LadyBoss or simply Ray, short Riley.

- Aww Raeh, don't get all sarcastic, is Our day - She fake pouts and pokes the spot on my left cheek where my dimple pops, that never fails to get me to smile. Finally the ceremony ends, Cass and I stand up cheering and screaming like never before and throw our caps in the sky to finally become engineers. 

- We made it!! , we both scream at each other faces while jumping around like all the people around us. After that we both walk to meet my mom who's been sitting all teary and emotional in the back of the field.

- Oh my God, Riley, come here baby. - she said with a tissue squeezed on her hand and her eyes bloodshot from all te crying during my speech. I walked right into her arms and hug her tightly.- I'm really proud of all your achievements, you've becomea very beautiful woman - she hold my shoulders and stared at my face, I didn't believe I was that beautiful, or even a woman at all, I was tall but still petite and a little bossy.
