There is a point in many people's lives that they eventually get ready to graduate school. Whether it is graduating from high school, college or anywhere else, people can tend to feel the same way when graduation is coming up and when it is over. Here are 10 feelings you might have or had when you graduate.
1. How relieved you are
Throughout the past four years, you can finally say it is coming to an end. All the schoolwork, some meaningless classes, stressful studying and getting little to no sleep has all paid off for this very moment.
2. Being excited for the big day
The big day also known as graduation day is slowly approaching and you just can't wait to finally walk across that stage to accept your diploma and know that you are doing it with the people you are closest to.
3. Nervous about messing up
After going through pointless graduation rehearsals, hearing your name called for practice numerous times and finding the right clothes and shoes to wear to graduation still deep down inside you are nervous about actually walking across the stage and possibly messing up even though you practiced it multiple times.
4. Being scared to have to be an adult
Although you spent the past four years preparing for your future after graduation you are still scared to have to be on your own and be an adult and have so many responsibilities that you don't think you are ready for.
5. The thought of leaving your friends
Eventually, you start to realize that you and all the people you have gotten close to and have known for years are going to go their separate ways and eventually live their own lives. You won't be able to see them every day but you will try to remember it isn't goodbye forever.
6. Thinking back on all the memories
You start to slowly reminisce about everything that happened during not only the past year but the past few years. You start to think back about prom, your first day of school and all the things you were involved in throughout the years as you look at the pictures and realize that those memories will stay in your heart forever.
7. Being optimistic about your future
Eventually, you start to believe that you can actually make it in the big world and that the future might not be as scary as it seems to be.
8. The satisfaction of making your family and friends proud
The realization that you were able to make your family and friends proud of you for reaching this milestone.
9. Realizing that you had help along the way to get you to this point in life
Whether it was with the help of teachers, coaches or counselors you had someone in school to support you with your decisions and work.
10. When you finally realize you made it
You finally made it to graduation and received your diploma, all those years of hard work have finally paid off.
