Greetings to you, everyone! I am @mynamesrai and today we're gonna be talking about my one time experience which is my senior highschool Graduation day at Ilihan Integrated School. It has been a month and a half perhaps? after my graduation day and some things has changed already. My classmates and I has been gone into our separate ways, some of them are working, some are in the City together with their parents/older siblings and some of us just stayed in the province.
Graduation blues really sucks haha, it was only been weeks after my graduation day but I already felt the loneliness at home, I'm not sad tho. I was never sad that classes has ended it was more beneficial to me because i could be less stress and I wouldn't procrastinate anymore (I'm a person who loves procrastinating and it's not a good thing hahaha). I was just lonely because I had gotten used to see my friends everyday at school, but now we barely see and talk to each other unlike before we would always hang out in school, like buying snacks in the canteen together during break time, eating lunch in the classroom and buying things in the market esp everytime we have group projects.
After the graduation I felt lonely, but at the same time it felt surreal the we already graduated from high school, thinking about it gives me chills because who knows time could be this fast. Time flies so fast. Looking back, I somehow miss the bond I had with my friends at school, without them my senior highschool experience wouldn't be as unforgettable and amazing as it was. My friends were one of the reasons that keeps me wanting to go to school everyday, despite the stress and laziness I'm feeling with school. That's why after the graduation, I can't help but think that I kinda miss school, no not school ... maybe the people I had in school haha. Even though we has only known each other for two years, I still treasure and care for them the way I cared for my long time friends, it's not about the length of your friendship, its all about the bond and the adventure and the happiness you felt when you are with them.
Anyways to go back to the story, so finally my most awaited day came which is my graduation day, and going back the feeling I felt that time was nervousness and happiness at the same time, I felt happy because my family was there of course, my friends was there and my best friend as well (unfortunately, my other friend wasn't able to attend my graduation day because she was in the city) so going back to the story, the first thing I did was prepare the things I need for the ceremony, like the toga, hat, sablay and everything i needed. after preparing we headed to school to do my own make upβ I had to do my make up at school because it would be washed out before the ceremony would start if I did it at home, as well as my hair but unfortunately my hair didn't last long until the end of the ceremony. After dressing up and making myself look presentable, we proceeded with the pre-ceremonial picture taking since they want to take pictures before and after the graduation ceremony, and yea we took a lot of pics, we all take turns to take a pic with each other, and let me show you the pictures yβall.
And oh, unexpectedly my auntie was there as well because she was selling garlands and I was extra happy that we got to take a picture together. and here's the picture guys, its so cute.
I also took pictures with my friendsβ Claui and Jenna, they were one of my closest friends inside the classroom and I'm thankful that we got to take a pic with each other because I know that after this we would only see each other once in a blue moon haha (and I'm not even kidding guys) after taking the pics we proceeded to the gym to start the program with the processional, so we already get into the line alphabetically together with our lovely parents, and Roviline and I was next to each other in line so of course we didn't waste the chance to do nothing, we took a selfie and it turned out good and Jenna was there as well.
Then fast forward, we were already sitting on our own chairs and during the graduation ceremony, all we did was just stand, sit and clap and it goes again and again until the program was done, pretty simple right hahaha. We also had a little chitchats (even tho it wasn't allowed toπ ) but then mins. later, I was taken aback to see Roviline already crying at first I thought she was just laughing because we were laughing earlier before, but no she was crying hahaha and for some reason seeing her cry makes me emotional too especially when we were already singing out farewell song.
I was really hold myself back not to test up during the program because I effing hate crying( I'm the most ugly crier, okay hahaha) but no, my eyes betrayed me I bawled my eyes out during the farewell song until the giving of gifts (my friends gave me bouquet and some developed pictures with a candy, and my mother gave me a Garland) especially when I saw my friends and family crying so I hugged everyone, including my classmates to extend my gratitude to them, they don't know how thankful I was for everyone with my school journey especially to my advisers and subject teachers, I wasn't able to thank them personally because I was too sju to do it but God knows how grateful I am for them until today. They are the ones who shaped me into this kind of person I am right now, they're the one who gave me the knowledge I had, despite the school sucking the h out of me. But I will not forget how patient and patient and πππ‘ππ¦πππ my teachers are with us and I will always be grateful to them for that. That's all, Hivers I hope you enjoyed this journey of mine.
Thank you so much for reading, everyone. Stay safe and hydrated, Adieu!
