Taha! Here we go, just inches away from getting that diploma. Probably all of your friends are starting to countdown, probably picking out their graduation outfits; the heels, the dress and the graduation ball dress, I get it I mean, I’m right there; right now, in that moment where you are as well.
Can you feel the pressure? The excitement? The naissance? The anticipation? The sadness? And practically every single emotion that is known to mankind, to be honest are you even ready? I mean truly ready to move on the next chapter?
At the moment, my classmates are counting down to graduation day, every day I am reminded of the little time I have left of being a student and to be honest there is nothing that we have mastered more than being this, because for 90% of our lives we are in school but that’s about to change. Are you ready for the pressure of finding work? Of envying your lower batches because you see them having 2 month long vacations, free from stress and responsibility? Do you even have legit IDs yet? Are you ready for the stressful weekdays and barely there weekends? Are you ready to be the great person with a bright future your family has been seeing you for? If you are then good for you but if you’re not then it’s okay, we’ll transition and adapt real soon, I promise. xx
It’s okay to not be sure and not be prepared because we need a little bit of time to unwind and get ourselves in check to be able to conquer mountains bigger than our thesis papers, our dissertations and our reports. We need a little bit of time to figure out the answer to the mundane and frequently asked question in your student life “What’s your plan after graduation?”, I actually answer this with “I don’t know yet, right now I’m focused on graduating” makes sense right? How can you figure out what you’re about to do when you don’t even know if the odds are in your favor or not? But now, the time is up and we need to get a decent answer for that. I also bet you’ve been on that family gathering where people discuss what they’re about to do in their lives and there you are in your last year in college and people seeing your bright future, don’t you just envy that they can already see it when you are struggling to even get a glimpse of a pinhole light? Well one of these days, we will see it too. We will see that bright future, the haze and darkness provided by those walls blocking your view; you will soon hit like a wrecking ball and the magnificence of the light of your bright future with guide you along your way to it. We are this small person in a gigantic world and we move forward with our lives and grow out and discover life out of our student shells, we will not just be butterflies we will be eagles, soaring up in the sky, but for now we need goodluck and a mighty heart because we’re about to embark to the unknown.
P.S. Take a little time to figure things out, sweetie. Once the fog is clear, conquer and win at life!
