Commencement, Just Another Day

June 15th, 2012. I woke up, got ready, picked up my cousin, and went to school. There was horrible traffic at school but it just felt like any other day… but with horrible traffic. After finally settling down in the Student Center Parking Structure, going through a shoe disaster and borrowing my cousin’s heels, I went around to the back of the Bren’s Event Center to find my friends. All these people around me were jumping up and down in excitement, calling or yelling out to their friends, and gathering around to take pictures. I stood in line with my friends and just quietly chatted with them, asking how their last quarter was and so on. The excitement that I can physically see in others, I had absolutely none in me. I don’t know from when, but it feels like I have simply just moved on. Maybe it is the fact that I had actually finished school three months earlier. Who knows. All I know is that, I felt no emptiness (from lack of school), no happiness nor excitement (from being done with school). I mean, I’m glad that I’m done and don’t have to take out any more loans. It’s just that I feel so… indifferent. There are so many reasons I could come up with but I just don’t know really… why. Maybe it’s because nothing else has really changed. I have been living at home and still am. Still being watched like a three year old by my parents. Don’t go out unless there’s a special event/occasion/reason. I take that last one back. I do OCCASIONALLY go eat delicious food with my friends but not really any more than before. I work now but that just really keeps me busy during the day like school used to. I just don’t know. It feels like I moved on so simply. I just don’t know. All I know is that I am a college graduate 🙂
