the impending day of graduation conjures a stir of emotions- relief, anxiety and ambiguity.
for those who have done well, congratulations, you have nothing to worry about. for those who didnt do so well, congratulations, you have made it through anyway.
no doubt this release from the once dreadful experience of studying has given me the time of the world to enjoy and do whatever i have always wanted to do in my free time, but then there will be a time when it all comes back together to the fact that oh crap, im about to graduate. and all the irrational worries start to cave in.
remember how during those school days, you and your friends would complain about the pile of homework and in the night while you try very hard to complete it, you question about the existence of school and how meaningful it’d be if there werent any exams to be taken?
we tried hard to get through the painful cycles of studying and towed ourselves to do our work.
and now, this is it.
im done with all that. for now.
all that im left with is the nostalgia and unforgettable memories of school.
some could also be left with the looming question of “what’s next”.. some may have already gotten themselves a job, another routine to follow each day. but really, as all of us move on to the next tier of life, dont we all miss the days of simplicity and the comfort of encouragement from peers during the days of our rush to meet project deadlines and other issues school puts us through?
the sudden halt of it all puts me in a frightening surprise.
nevertheless, we must all make do and move on to the bigger challenges in life.. for some of you who are still battling your final year in school, take this as a last opportunity to do well. you might never have this chance again. treasure it well.
