Goodbye Worcester

The time has come to say goodbye to Worcester, "the armpit of Massachusetts" (as my sister would say) and Clark University. I know, I haven't blogged on Heidi Knows Best in over a year because it was mainly for class, but I will try to keep up (I hope you will too). I would like to take this time to discuss the things I will miss about the city/school, as I will be moving back to Ipswich with mom and dad this memorial weekend. Independent and sexy of me, I know.

Things I will miss:

Clark University
Giving this some thought... I won't miss too much about the stinky streets of Worcester (except that really great coffee shop on Shrewsbury) but I will miss some people that I met in the past two years. 
I have had the wonderful experience of going to a University where more than half the populations first language isn't english. I must say, it was a unique and exciting experience studying abroad. Thanks to the wonderful advisor of my program, I was given a chance to attend a University where most of the students were at the top of their class in high school/undergraduate studies. Lets just say I wasn't at the top or maybe even the middle during these times. With a final GPA of 3.7, I am officially a Master of Professional Communication. Thanks for taking a chance on me you glorious and under appreciated man. 

Things I will also miss:

  • The professor that taught all his classes through personal life lessons (I learned the most from you)
  • The creepy man at CVS who never failed to call me beautiful even on the days I didn't shower. Thank you and please check out match.com.
  • The wonderful people at the JCC, shalom! I will miss you, keep up with the FB and Twitter pages!
  • Sensei and the people at MJA Martial Arts (amen to balance and being a ninja)

Masters Graduate
I will even miss the girl in my program who knitted through ALL of my presentations (you know who you are).

There are many other things and people I will miss about Worcester, and over the last few years I have learned a lot about myself and surroundings. The truth is... where you move next or where you end up in life doesn't matter, it's the people you meet along the way and experiences that make you. Don't forget to thank those angels in your life who support you 100%. The world isn't a nice place, but there are always a few kind people that can keep your head up when life brings you down.

Thank you to everyone who supported me! I couldn't have done it without you. Now, who is hiring? I have expensive taste and this blog isn't advertised.

Remember, half of being smart is knowing what you are dumb about. Everyone is good at something, so be the best at what you do.

Goodbye Worcester, I am sure we will meet again sooner than later. To all the people I mentioned in this post, don't be a stranger (except the CVS man). Take care!
