Life after college

When you were in college, you might have felt like the challenges will never end. You felt untouchable, invincible, that you could do anything you wanted. And then you finished college and everything changed.

It has been four years of studying hard and making things possible. No more sleepless nights working with thesis, narrative reports, projects, preparing visual aids for a teaching demonstration, and working with props and practicing for a stage play. College years are over and a new chapter had opened---the real world.

After earning a college degree, one has to prepare himself for the real battle for the real world which revolves with work, money, happiness, personal growth, productivity, and the like. You must be ready to face the challenges that might come along your way. Some things might not work according to how you want them to work and you must be ready to face whatever odd that will test how perseverant and patient you are.

Another chapter had opened. The real life is waiting. Studying is over but stress would still be your friend. It’s never easy looking for a job. The real battle begins right after college and landing a job right away is not as easy as abc. You must be strong-willed and positive that you can achieve what you want to achieve.

There are lots of opportunities waiting…all we have to do is to take the risk and live life according to what we want and what we believe.

You’ll just have to wait.

Few days from now, I will be walking with a black toga and a cap while a marching song isplaying. I will soon pursue my dreams and the things I really love doing. I want to be the person I really wanted to be. I want to go to places I’ve never been. I want to meet different kinds of people whom I’ll share the same experience.

I know I’m not getting any younger. Time really runs fast when you do worthwhile things…but time seems to run very slow when you are just waiting for something to happen-something that is very important in our lives.

For the past 4 years I’ve been learning so many things about schooling. I learned how to let other people come into my life and learn from them. Opportunities and experiences made me into what I am right now. I can say that life has been good to me and it feels great to see the fruits of my labor.

4, 3, 2, 1…(Flashback)

I entered college with an unexplainable feeling… I was even unsure if I really wanted to be an education student. I was afraid that people might not recognize the things that I’ll do. The feeling lasted for almost three to six months but I was really wrong. TOTALLY WRONG.  I was given the chance to be recognized and prove my worth and until now, I’m thankful for all the opportunities given to me and to those who made my college life colorful.

Now, I’m waiting for the day that I’ll sing a graduation song. No more projects, no more quizzes, no more sleepless nights doing a portfolio, no more staying overnight in my classmates’ houses to finish a thesis no more unwanted pimples(as if I want pimples…LOL)

I know that graduation ceremony is just a formality that one has finished his degree. After graduation, I will face the world of work. As of now, I am clueless of what lies ahead but I know what I really want..and I am certain of one thing: I will be someone I always want to be.

When I was a kid, I was taught by my parents to be thankful of the things that I have and until now, they always remind me ‘bout it. I always thank God for giving me so many chances to prove how strong I am. I may not be the most intelligent person in the world but I am person who loves life amidst the tough trials.

I know that the best is yet to come. All I have to do is to wait.
