It's been Eleven Years

This is so hard to believe that it's been since 2005 that I graduated from College. I really don't know why I kept thinking about it. Is it because it didn't turn out the way I want it or sometimes I just missed school. There was moment after graduation were my school was going to win the NCAA championship in the sports of Basketball. but years passed, nothing happened, either it was second or third place. Finally, when I'm no longer interested watching the game, it became viral on every body about my school winning and it did, last year. Time really had passed by, It's hard to believe that I have left the campus and have not visited since then. I mean I've some of my batch-mates have their respective reunion, but I got only one, and that is from my collage classmates. Maybe I should stop thinking about it, or is it healthy to remember it sometimes? I still have my thesis/feasibility-study book herein the shelf. Do you still wonder the kind of life that you took since post-graduation?

Oh I always think of it my friend. It has been many many years for me, but nothing is as I thought it would be. We cant help but to remember our school years. Glad to know your college finally won the basketball.

All I did was books and research but there was a time that I did hang out on my own. Most specially when strolling through the walls of the old manila hanging out were the canons were used to be. seeing the great of view of the city.

Things were just different in school, @abrielle28 I've thought of taking masteral but its harder and I'm not that bright. Maybe i should visit my school so that I can have my sense of peace.

@abrielle28 I haven't really visit the school after my recent applications, i guess i didn't want them to ask me how it is going.

@Letranknight2015 Yeah, you know what, there might be a reason why its bothering you every time you think about your old school, I do agree that you should visit it. I hope you find that sense of peace.

I graduated in 2008 and since then went back to my college only once, not for reunion , but just to get a feel of that time. As I shifted to different city after my college, I didnt get much chance to go back there. When I revisited my college after 4 years, there were completely new faces, I felt I have grown old,most of the teachers were still there, I just roamed around the college and felt nostalgic when I located few spots that were our regular. Post college, life changed drastically but gradually. The responsibilities or a working person are huge compared to a college student. No matter how much money we earn now, we cant recreate the fun that we had during college time and we cant get that age back. I feel it feels me great pleasure to remember those days but a slight pain too, as that part of my life is over now and I cant get it back.

I thought of enjoying post college life since such weight has been lifted from my shoulders, but it seems boring now a days. maybe I should have been more go-lucky and hang out more but during my college time, we had some real troubling finances and so as my siblings then. so, I had to study hard no matter what. But still Im happy that I graduate.

@Letranknight2015 Thats the irony of fate, when you have time and age at your side, your are worried about finances, but when you get money, you have lost on that time. I always feel its important for all of us to find joy and happiness in smallest of the things of life.
