Empowering grads to take control of their lives
It's official. In a week, I'll be a university grad with a Bachelor's Degree! How do I feel? Excited. Relived. Nervous. Ready. I started postsecondary like thousands of others as a baby-faced, fresh out-of-high school graduate with stars in their eyes, ready to conquer the world. And yes, I still feel that way.
It’s raining outside my window as I write this and something about rain has always made me reflective about my life. Today, I’m reflecting on my university experience and reflecting on what I miss and don’t miss about it.
When I graduated university on June 13, 2019, it was the first time in a long time that I finally felt like I had control of where my life was going next. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed university and the five years I spent there because it was pivotal in my growth as the person, but there were moments that I felt like I was studying my life away and not really living it.
Hey, class of 2021, it’s Trish here, and I just wanted to say how proud I am of you for making it to your last year of university or college. If I could give you all a big hug through my laptop, I would.
