Is Today My Graduation Day From NYU? 

Today is May 17th, 2017 and NYU’s Class of 2017 is at Yankee Stadium right now celebrating one of the best moments of their lives. I don’t remember or really know what that feels like. I don’t know because despite participating in graduation exercises in May 2015, I have not graduated and, thanks to the University I gave so much of my life  (AND MONEY) to,  I don’t even know if today was my graduation day.

What? How can this be?!? I saw the pictures! I was there with you when you graduated! Surely, Marissa, you must have your degree after TWO WHOLE YEARS.

Nope. The last two years have been filled with emails, petitions, countless phone calls, sleepless nights, tears, and frustration as NYU holds my future hostage. Buckle up because this is a long story, one that I’m telling today because I am TIRED of WAITING and BEGGING to simply graduate.

You can read the full story on how my future is being held hostage HERE.

Reblog and help my get my story told. Maybe the University will listen.
