I just had my graduation last April 18, 2009. I'm really glad I got to finish computer engineering. For 5 looong years, I've been through a lot. Now, I'm no longer a student. Haha. Well, in school. But in general, I still have a lot to learn about life, we are all students in that aspect, as the learning process never stops. Somehow, I get a bittersweet feeling, knowing that things would never be the same. I would be stepping into another phase of life, away from what I've grown accustomed with. Everything would be new but I think I'm up for the challenge. And so... I am happy for myself and for all those who have also graduated... Congratulations graduates!!! Kudos to you! 
I decided to visit mylot after a long term absence, i would probably have more time now while I'm resting. However things may change as I try to find and pursue a job.

I will also be graduating this year and i can't wait for it to be over school does take up a lot of your time and life and i might be able to go out with friends more and enjoy the life i want back. I didn't spend five year in school thought i only went the two year for my AA in Business and when I'm done i hope to pursue a license certificate or maybe even real estate to pursue a really good career in something that is an open field right now. I do my school online and it is pretty easy doing it that way and not having to listen to any one talk to you but you do a lot of reading and trying to figure out things on your own and that really doesn't seem to bother me at all. I will be glad when it is all over and done with though.

Congratulation to you on your graduation. And welcome back to mylot. Mylot has surely grown a lot while you were studying. Brings back memories of my own graduation. Though I was not as good a guy to have the privilege of doing computer science but none the less the emotions related to ones own graduation is always special. I am working currently for almost a year and I had completed my college last year. Those were the days to cherish and so nice. I really had much more time that I have today. You are going to step into a completely different world now and the transition will be quite something. Some guys like it a lot while others take a little more time. I do enjoy my work environment and we (my co workers) get along real nice. So like college enjoying here too. Let's hope you too have a good time and good luck for your job search.

Congratulations my boy. You have graduated and that is the first part of your life that is over, the education part. You were till now sheltered by your parents. Now you will face the world for what it is, the good and the bad. You will see many ups and downs in life, but you seem to have a sane head over your young shoulders. My son too is giving his finals now and will be a graduate soon. I pray to God that both of you may have a lot of success in life, and may all your clouds have a silver lining. Remember, never give up. Life may not be very comfortable out of the circle of your parents support. Have a goal and stick to it. You will then always succeed. Good luck and God Bless.

That's great, congrats to you. School can seem like its never going to end and when it does you will find yourself asking where the time went. Make sure to keep in touch with your friends and let your professors know how much you appreciate their contribution to your education.

Congratulations Selece! Yeah, it's really a mixed feeling after graduation. It's a little bit sad cause you'll probably be away from people and things you really got used too. And also a bit scary, cause you'll never know what's gonna happen after you went out of your "comfort zone" but it's also exciting to look forward to the future.
Goodluck to you and Welcome to the real world! hehe!
Happy mylotting!

I will be graduating next year in January . One thing I'm sure of is that it has been a great experience and I got to learn a lot through those four years of college life. It's a great feeling to know that now we will get to be independent completely and stand on our own feet.

Oh, congratulations!
I graduated form my four years college July 7th last year, it's really good time being in school. I alway recall the time I was at school recently. Haha!
And then welcome to society, the society is a big family, I think. You will learn a lot knowledge that you can't form school. Also you have to be brave enought to face it. There is something different you can't image in school.
Whatever, enjoy ourlives.
