nostalgia
Farewells are always tearful.But there are always exceptions to the rule. I had presumedthat bidding adieu to college would not be so hard. After three years of not belonging,I did not believe that there would be a day that I would regret leaving it.
But the day came.
I was more excited, than anything else, about the college farewell. It was supposed to be a day of partying, and saying the final goodbye before the exams took over our lives. The date had been set: Saturday, the 28th of January.
As I got ready that morning, a small thought entered my mind: this was going to be my last day as a student of the college. After that day, I would become part of the college alumni. Im not sure if that was a sad thought or a happy one but it was there...and it stayed.
As I met up with my friends and sat in the auditorium for the performances, I felt like time had flown since last year, when we were the ones saying goodbye to our seniors. The performances started, and sadness crept in when they sung 'Leaving on a jet plane'. I couldnt help but feel nostalgic about the good times and memories that the college had given me.
As the party ended and people began to leave, it suddenly hit me: I was finally leaving the college, and I was going to graduate in a few days. It was a strange feeling, quite indescribable.
Later in the day, I messaged all my friends, and it truly describes what I felt. Here's what I wrote :"Sometimes life gives us these shocks in order to wake us up. Today, I felt like I turned my back and the 3 years of my graduation just slipped by. However fast it may have been, I'm glad it left me holding your hand...as a friend...forever.
