As I grow closer to graduating (2-3 weeks to be exact; I graduate on May), I feel both sad and excited to see what’s coming next in my life. It’s been such a journey these past four years of college. If there’s anything that I’m happy about it’s being able graduate with a bachelor’s degree and having a blast with the friends, I’ve met throughout college. They’ve all helped me grow and I can truly say that they will forever be my friend until the end.
Even now I can imagine in a few years if I ever get married, I will invite all of them to my wedding and ask them to be my bridesmaids. I know that graduation was bound to happen, but this graduation feels different because I won’t be able to go to my favorite spots to study or hangout with my friends but at the same time, I’ll be able to say that ‘this is where I met my best friends.’ (I apologize if this sounds cringey or sad lol).
Besides thinking of my friends, I also thought of my family who’ve helped me and supported me through my journey. Especially, my brothers who have always encouraged me to get involved and to make sure that I give myself a break from my classes and extracurricular activities. I don’t know what I would do without them, they’ve always cheered for me, and I’ll always be cheering for them as well!
But enough feeling super emotional (I’ll probably be a mess the day of graduation). Some of my long-term goals would be to become a senior editor for a magazine or publishing industry within fashion or entertainment or become a video editor. While I know that would take some time and experience to achieve, I would be open to learning and growing in anything as I go into the field! I just know that whatever I do in my field of work that I’ll enjoy it and learn a lot of things whether or not it’s my long-term goal. Another goal of mine would be to do some travelling and learn more about myself and meeting new people, friends, bonds, etc. Plus, I would like to continue making content on my platforms and maybe one day become a content creator.
I’m excited to start this new journey and see where life takes me, I know that there will be some bumps in the road but that’s what makes life exciting. Hopefully, in a few years all of my goals will come true, and I’ll be the happiest I can be.
ENOUGH about me. If you’re graduating and you’re wondering what’s next for you or your feeling excited and sad or nervous, don’t worry you’re not alone. Sometimes, I get nervous too about graduating but just know that we’ll make it and we’re going to give it our all!
