What Graduating College is Really About
Its that time of the year wherein all of our friends are posting their diplomas, their graduation poses and creative shots. But really, what does graduating college actually mean?
Not the End
You earned that diploma and for that, all of us are proud of you. But now that your university life has ended, I am sorry to say that your “real life” is just about to begin. Yes. Your entire college life was just a mere training ground in order to prepare you in facing the real world. Now that you have graduated, this is not the end of you achieving your dreams but rather the beginning of it.
Searching for a Purpose
Yes. Sometimes graduating is not about actualizing your purpose as much as it is about finding it. We think that because we have graduated from a certain program then we already know who we would be. But life does not work that way. It is entirely possible that we have spent our entire time in college in order to be a particular profession only to end up in a completely different field. This does not have to be a bad thing.
Graduating Means Deciding
Now that you have graduated it means that it is time for you to decide who you actually want to be. We are now being given the responsibility to take a hold of their lives. To take command and control of our lives. Now, we truly are the ones in charge of the direction that we want to take. To get to where we want to be and be the person we have always dreamed of being.
Precious' only desire for the future is to be more human. The world we live in has shackled us in the limitations of practicality that we are taught that to be human is to be weak. She wants to change that narrative and attempt to prove that the best way to progress and equality is by amplifying our humanity. Believe it or not- she absurdly believes that this could be done through writing. On a more formal and boring note she has a journalism degree with plans to pursue legal studies in the future.
