I'm graduating everyday.
I saw my university friends the other day well, ex-university friends. We can now just call each other friends as the location has changed. Now we are graduates and not students.
We were having some nice food and a couple of drinks and talking about graduation day. Graduation day was a lifetime ago now.
The emotions around this day fluctuate incredibly from it being the best day of their life, didn't bother going and stressful.
I always think it's crazy how one day can mean so much to someone like Christmas. People literally wish the months away for one day which is the long-run costs a huge chunk of money, time and emotion for just 24 hours and poof it's done for you to then wish away another twelve months.
Graduation was one of them days where it was count down from the minute we started the third year.
It was the longest year ever but at the same time the quickest. It was as if I blinked slowly and there I was walking on the stage shaking a random lecture hand.
Before university finished, I had already made a plan and it was all inaction to leave my home town Stoke-On-Trenta and move to the big city of Greater Manchester. The aim in my wild head was to put myself in the right place to get my dream job.
A week after throwing all my books away because university had come to a close. I was ramming my stuff in a van with my mum making that journey up to my new flat in Manchester.
As my mind and body were in full force of new stress of being in a new job, new flat, new city, the list goes on of 'newness' that graduation didn't even come close.
Before graduation obviously was results day! Which I had completely forgotten about until I saw my university chat beeping, buzzing, and pinging like it had a mind of its own!
Well, let me tell you that it was an unbelievable feeling knowing I got my dream results, however, if I didn't get that I don't know what I would have done as the amount of hard work, sweat and tears I put into this course were unbelievable. It was torturous and a battle. I won that battle!
Graduation came by in a heartbeat. I hadn't even got a new dress even though that's all girls were speaking about!
I told all my family and friends no party, no celebration, it's no big deal. I did have to go back to manchester and go work the next day.
It was only till a couple of days before it hit me like a brick wall. I'M GRADUATING! I never thought this day would happen. I'm feeling the best I have ever. Let's have a party!
So its completely my fault when no celebration happened at all. My graduation was literally a walk in and walk out, 3 years of hard work done, dusted and new chapter now.
I mean let's say, I knew life had to start from scratch when I walked on the stage and they said my name completely, utterly wrong. On my one big day which I didn't plan to celebrate, I'm wearing an old dress, have to travel straight back manchester to work the next day and then its topped off with my name is said wrong.
All in all graduation to me was just one normal day. Which should have probably been one of the best days ever! However, I'm now a graduate and this can never be taken off me so, every day is sort of like a graduation day!
