I officially graduated from my university the day before yesterday. My classmates and friends from other classes were so sad about their leaving because they live in other cities in our country. They felt awful about leaving the campus. They took many many photos together and acted like never-come-back.
But I didn't feel anything. I am so confused.
Am I too cold-blooded to be unhappy about all this friends leaving thing?
I don't know..... I am working on campus and at least for another year. I do not feel I am leaving or something.
Guys, were you in tears on your graduation party? or leaving the campus?

funny, we were talking about this the other day, except at highschool. friends of ours were telling us that when their oldest daughter graduated highschool, they saw other parents crying but they were high 5ing each other!
with any change, mixed emotions are bound to be apparent and with the end of highschool and college, definitely be there. maybe it will hit you later.

I wasn't too emotional during my graduation. There's a little tears but not as in my really crying to the max. Not because i left the campus or separated with my friends but because of the joy, it was a tears of joy, that at long last i achieved one of my dreams.
My campus is always there if i wanted to visit, if you want to see friends you can text them or chat with them online.
Cheers.

Hi, It is sad that you were leaving but to do more you need to do so. When we had a graduation party we were also sad and little low for leaving our university. But at the same time we were also very happy that we graduated from this university. We were all full of energy singing, dancing and also crying together. I was crying less and enjoying more that I got graduated and now I can begin my life, my career to the fullest with the great zeal.
Those were the days...and now today again this discussion reminds me of my old friends and teachers there..I used to meet my teachers still today.

i wanted to cry but i couldn't i was mostly mad because there was alot of kids that picked on me there. plus i only had a few close friends n half of us were going to the same school n the others we still hang out n talk on the phone. so to cry would be pointless. just would ruin my makeup haha.

Haha, so funny....
Kids? What were they doing there?
Your situation was quite different. You and your friends are going to the same school. Making long-distance calls is not a smart idea to practice for a long time. Maybe we have to let it go sometimes. That's just life. Old friends go and new friends come.
