Two years ago,I graduated from unversity.I had looked for that day for thounds of times,because I had finally grown up and can earn myself.Ihe the night I graduated,I went out to drink and sing with my best friends and classmates.We were happy and sad,when we were drunk,we cried together,so sadly.Wo all knew,perhaps we would never have a party together forever.
I have graduated for two years,now I always miss that night and the day we seperated.I miss my friends and classmates,they were so lovely that I can't forget them.I am sad again while I write this content,I want to cry right now.
Do you have the similar experience with me?Do you miss your old friends whom you would never meet again?

I too cried in the night of our graduation in college. My case is I think different from most of you guys considering that it was my second course, is that the right word? I mean, I shifted from Chemical Engineering after 3 deadful years to Statistics. Both course was so tough that I have to sleep late in the evening, I always cried during our midterm and final exams, its so painful because we only have 2 major exams, unlike in the private univeristies and colleges that they do have 4 exams in every semesters.
There was even a time that I thought I can't finish the course because my time has ROTC (Reserves Officer Training Course) yet. The course was an additional burden for us students taking engineering and other applied mathematics courses because aside from painstakingly studying for our lessons, we still have to go marching during sundays in the middle of the sun! Well, thanks that I was in the office because of my disability.
I graduated from Statistics with a great joy in my heart and not only to myself but to my family as well. My classmates, and I, considered it as a great achievement graduating from Statistics because we were only 7 in the class! Most of our classmates from 1st year were eliminated, they failed in most of our major subjects, so as a result we were just 7 who continued the course. So it was a pretty sad, leaving our Alma Matter, and our classmates as well because we have been so close enough because of our number.
Now, that we all have work, we still think those deadful nights that we study and those tearful years that we have to work hard in order to pass our subjects.

This was weird for me to read, because I have another year of school to go. I am going to graduate in May 2010. I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope I don't miss school too much when I get to leave.
Sometimes, I look back and miss high school. I graduated in 05. For awhile, though, I didn't miss it. It seems I only miss it now, because in high school a lot of people looked up to me and money wasn't so tight. Now, money is tight and I am graduating a year later than I had planned and I miss my more carefree days. I think this feeling will pass when I get into a more comfortable situation.

You know i've always scorned at the people crying at graduations. But i graduate next year and now the thought of leaving my college after a year really makes me sad. It really is an emotional event isn't it?

I miss my old friends, and some of them I may never see again. But there are some that I still see even though I have moved hundreds of miles away. I think that if you try to stay in touch you will. And also, that sometimes life may take you away from those people but maybe sometime down the road you will be together again.
With the loss of old friendships comes new. I hope you are able to find new friends and remember those old ones with great memories. Good luck to you in the future!
