I just got home and feeling a little intoxicated from celebrating Film Society's anniversary. I'll miss the people in this organization. They are totally awesome people and ever since I joined this org, a lot of things have transpired and affected me deeply. I even never thought that these people will accept me for who I am and I felt so comfortable being myself with them.
Not only will I miss the org and its people but I will also miss a lot of my mates in college. I also learned a lot from them about dealing with other kinds of personalities and dealing with life itself. I learned a lot of good things and some bad habits but sometimes, it's okay to be flawed unlike in high school where teenagers are judged on how they look and act and once you did something pretty embarrassing, it'll stick up their tiny minds and will remember you for that sole act of humiliation. In college, when you did something embarrassing, it'll turn out to be funny and your mates will laugh with you, not at you.
I'll miss the sections I've been into and the closest friends I met in those sections. They are absolutely better than high school in general. You can sense my bitterness towards high school. For my high school friends, I also enjoy your company of course. Don't get me wrong, okay? You all know the things I went through and survived.
Besides the students, I'll also terribly miss some of my mentors in college especially those who've become my acquaintances and friends. I'm not a suck-up to my professors during classes but they are really approachable when classes are over. They are actually cool and can crack up jokes. They're not really strict outside the four walls of the classrooms. I'll never forget the laughs I shared with certain professors during thesis writings and just hanging out with them during breaks.
One of the few things I won't miss is the school and its terrible and complicated system. I won't elaborate on this one as it ruins the mood. I'll just leave it as is. People will have to see the flaws for themselves.
It just sucks that good things will come to an end and this is one of the good things I'll be having a hard time to let go since I am just starting to enjoy it but what the hell. It's my loss. College life has somehow become the best part of my life because I really enjoyed participating and becoming a part of other people's lives. Even if I hesitated to get out of my shell at first, I really had a good time. I also learned a lot and college life has opened my mind to a lot of perspectives and lessons that the classroom can't give me.
Now that one more event awaits me before I finally and officially leave the phase of college, I face uncertainty. I'm uncertain of what will happen next after graduation, how I'll begin my life as a fresh graduate and where I'll look for jobs. With the help of college, I am somehow equipped with the skills and traits that made me into who I am right now and I hope I can use them well to help me get a job and of course, to feel better about myself.
To the people who've been a part of my four years of college, thank you and I know that graduation will not be the last time we will all see each other. The earth is still small and we will find each other in some ways. The sentences popping inside my head are getting sappy and cheesy so I guess I'll stop here before it gets worse.
