Today I sat my final exam - EVER. Well, actually, I hope it is my last exam ever - I wasnt able to finish my last essay so hopefully I still managed to scrape through :S
But anyways, after sitting the exam, and being told we could all go home, the entire room of law, engineering and psychology students let our a unanimous cheer and roar. It was definitely a relief, and an elation to have finished it all off. After that however, it dawned on me that it was also the end of a youthful era. After five years at uni, 4 different course changes (yes yes im fickle), it was suddenly all over as the clock ticked past 10.10 am.
Looking back, I have had an absolute ball at uni. The fantastic people that I have met , the little odds and edds that I've found out about life, and experience that it has afforded me - it really is something. Looking back, we've lost a few people along the way, due to changing courses, graduation and all that, but those people still managed to leave a little imprint on my life.
Now looking forward, I'm a little bit apprehensive about what life after uni would bring. The uni years were marked by a sense of freedom and independence, a sense of maturity and youth at the same time, and a feeling that nothing could touch us. Now, we're all competitors out in the world of work. We all have our little life-goals to meet. And we all have our different paths to live.
I just hope this ending doesnt mean the end of all that we've enjoyed in our youth. :( And i most certainly hope it can only signify the start of something even greater :D
