So as an era comes to an end, one can chose to view it as sad that it is over; that what has been will never again be. Or one can look back and see all the good times, value the memories, the situations, the experiences, the knowledge gained and the people meet. One can smile at what has been and be grateful for that the opportunity was given and taken to live and do what was made. And most importantly, one can promise to always value the memories of good as well as bad times; let what has been become a part of ones being leaving no reason to feel melancholic in regards to the past when the past is a part of the now in terms of one´s own persona; the past is not something that has been – the past will always be a part of the present. You are your past.

 

The lectures are finished. The books are closed. The campus is as empty as can be. The final dissertation is handed in. The speeches have been held. The goodbyes have been said. The party is over. A few students stayed till the early morning at the graduation-party, maybe as a way to postpone the inevitable. Either the inevitable being saying the final goodbyes to people that been part of their lives for the last three years. Or maybe as a way as to make the most of what´s left of the life as a bachelor-student for just a little bit longer before going to bed and waking up next morning with a slight headache and realize that a chapter is finished. It is closed now, no turning back. Something new lies ahead.

 

New. New is different. Something that hasn´t been before. New can be exciting. It can also be a little bit scary. It can be uncertain. Nervous. New can be a range of things depending on the individual. New for me, is a little bit of everything. Nonetheless, I do look forward to it.

This is not the end of something that has been; it is the beginning of what will be.

 

I write this with love, love for the last three years of my life, for the people I´ve met, for the knowledge I gained, for the experiences I´ve had and for every part of these three years that have led to me becoming who I am today. I write this as a thank you to everyone that have been a part of my life for these years, for all the laughs, smiles, conversations, good times as well as lesser good, for everything that makes up for what we call “life”.

 

I don´t do goodbyes so I simply say; till we meet again, be the best version of yourself and I am looking forward to follow your journey and take part of your endeavors!

 

Lots of love
