Graduated! (and my life afterwards)


I wasn't able to create a post straightaway to commemorate my achievement back in July but here it is now! That's right, I have graduated and obtained my bachelors degree in Accountancy three months ago, two days before my birthday! *throws confetti* It also means I didn't fail the exam I was worried about for a good month (refer to previous post) and surprisingly got a credit for that unit, as well as the other one. I was honestly shocked that I got more than 30 marks out of 55 for that exam - which is well over the 17 marks I needed to get a pass. Well, I was worried for nothing after all, but at the same time I think it was best that I was able to experience being in that state and learn something from this mistake.

On to less depressing note, I was really happy when I found out I passed and eligible to graduate. It was exciting as I am the first person in my family to attain a degree and also the fact that I get the chance to get on the stage and be proud of what I've achieved in front of number of strangers and fellow accounting students whom some are familiar and others aren't so. Also add to that is the preparation before the ceremony: buying the robe, buying the perfect dress and imagining the makeup to put on hehehe ( v ̄▽ ̄)♪

The day of graduation ceremony, I was really excited and nervous but also sad because I am going to miss going to uni. Before I started uni, I thought I won't be enjoying it, I'd be just a typical uni student that goes to their classes, study more afterwards, go home and study more...not making any friends to hang out with whatsoever. Well, the exact opposite happened. I met 5 people in my first semester whom I'm still very good friends with, and my social circle expanded from then onwards - meeting heaps of people almost every month. Funny thing is, most of them study at the same university as myself so it's easier to meet up with them. Long story short, I will miss university because it was definitely the most fun and tiring 3.5 years of my life, thanks to those people. Also, not gonna lie, but I enjoyed learning and studying even though I could be lazy at it.

Back to graduation day, us accounting major students had our own ceremony separate from other degrees (we are special people, okay). The usual get-go is advertising, marketing, and public relations are in the same ceremony, same goes with economics and finance students, while us accounting majors is solo! (YO! YO! YO!) I can't help but feel that we're totally different from them hehehe ;) Anyway, after that, I met up with my parents and cried for good 5 minutes TT___TT and then took photos with them and with friends too. Since it's my birthday 2 days later, I decided to have dinner with friends and siblings (parents didn't want to go) as double celebration after photos session. I was surprised they bought me gifts too! I've never celebrated my birthday with friends before (and I celebrated 22nd this year) so getting gifts is very awkward for me.

Here are some of the photos taken on that day~
(credits to my brother for taking them, and sister for the make-up) ♥









And now, a short update about my life afterwards... I took months of break, spending some me-time. I decided not to apply for jobs yet, though I constantly check websites to find positions available and bookmark them. For the whole month of August I was only at home, watching anime, tv series, movies, reading manga and books, staying in my room hibernating, etc etc basically with my family (and occasionally go for milk tea runs with my sister and best friend). Once I did go clubbing though because it was a friend's birthday and I didn't want to ditch her twice. I was on social media at times and rarely replies to people. I just wanted some time alone, rest and be comfortable again. September comes in, I started socialising again, went clubbing three times in a row, went to lunch catch-ups with friends, and basically spent a lot of money. Now it's October, I decided to start looking for jobs and actually applying now. I think three months of hibernation is good enough for me, but also because I have no money left and I need cash to be able to live.

I'm going to watch anime first and apply again tonight LOL (I'm finishing Akatsuki no Yona! - I ship Hak and Jae-ha (>∀<)and Su-won is the third party hehehe. Hopefully before this year ends, I find a job and get my license. I shall update again when something interesting in my life happens. Although, I might do another thoughts and opinion of an anime and make this a constant thing. I wish I'm not as lazy as I am now(◞‸◟)
