All right guys and girls, tomorrow's the day. The day some of us dread, some of us waited for and probably the most important day of our lives.
Graduation.
20, 21 or 22 years for us. A definite significant milestone of our lives. I'm no good with words, how about i quote some really good stuff instead?
Steve Jobs told us “Remembering you’re going to die, is the best way I know, to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
Arnold told us “You’re going to find naysayers in every turn that you make. Don’t listen. Just visualize your goal, know exactly where you want to go. Trust yourself. Get out there and work like hell. Break some of the rules and never ever be afraid of failure.”
For 3 years we've been buying and selling everything within our brains' capacity to pass the vassignments and projects. ctrl + c , ctrl + v were our favourite keys on the keyboard. We used cheatcodes such as adjhdfsd when it came to exams. The intellectual hustle.
Really, when I look back at it I wouldn’t change a thing.
" I mean it was so important to me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is – To be true to yourself. Ultimately that’s what’s gotten me to this place. I don’t live in fear, I’m free, I have no secrets, I know I’ll always be okay because no matter what, I know who I am" - Ellen
I wouldn't trade anything in the world for the experience that was gained throughout our 3 years together. It was a roller-coaster ride wasn't it? There were ups, downs and definitely the occasional loops and spirals. The P802 experience.
"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.
When we were ten, they asked again and we answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!
This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy 'cause there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.
So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won't have to guess. We'll know."
Is this it for us?
I looked back through some of this blog's over the years and felt nostalgic. A longing for the past to return, but we all know that will never happen. I once told someone that I never really miss my close friends, because I know for certain that I'll be seeing them again. I know for certain that sometime in the foreseeable future, we'll get a chance to meet, hang out, and talk as if there wasn't a tomorrow. Even if they've flown off overseas. We WILL meet again. I won't badly miss my friends, true, but I sorely miss the times that we had together. 10, 15 years down the road, I will look back on all this and say "Oh man, those were the days." Cliché.
Well enough ranting from me. How about one last bang from all of us? How does each and everyone of us write a post for this blog, as one final goodbye present? It doesn't have to super chim English; you can quote lyrics, vlog a simple sentence or anything will do!
Lastly, I would like to offer my sincerest apology if i had hurt your feelings with my crazy Bruce Banner moments. I never meant anything mean i said. But if it was compliments, i mean it to the deepest depths of my heart. <3
Thank you P802, Hot guys and Cute girls. :D 8-)
