End of academic life

Contrary to the rest of my peers who felt nostalgic or even a tinge of sadness to part with their academic life or experience, I was pretty much neutral from saying goodbye to my 16 years of education journey. It wasn't that the feeling of graduating hasn't sunk in yet, it was just ... nothing. When my last exam paper was handed in, there was no exceptional exhilaration or sadness. Probably just a rush of relief that I'm finally done and over with the education system.

It's no longer a secret that I only have regrets for my education journey. Of not being smart enough, of not being hardworking enough, and of being average. Despite not being able to fit in, I'm still thankful for all the opportunities given to me. Nevertheless, it has all come to an end. That said, as with the harsh reality of working life, I do pray I can accomplish something bigger, something better!
