Just the random thoughts of an avid writer and a doctor to be who constantly lies about his Flappy Bird high score.

What Now?

You know that feeling of falling (no pun intended) you sometimes get when you're sleeping? Yeah that one. That's what it feels like when the sudden realization that 15 years of education are over hits you...

   
'Dem feels'
They say when you're about to die your entire life flashes in-front of you within a matter of seconds. They never said that the same happens when you finish high school. *Over-dramatic Indian serial music plays*

You are overcome with nostalgia. Those sleepless nights spent flipping pages and staying online on Facebook late night to ask questions; Those classes you bunked with friends and ended up playing cards in an empty class; Those brief but everlasting moments with friends.

All these thoughts start rushing in one after the other and you suddenly start remembering even the minutest details e.g. duck-walk punishments. (Why doesn't this happen in exams!?)
"Vp revision?" - Student WhatsApp greeting 9 May - 24 June
After you're done reminiscing and come back to Earth, that one question pops up into your mind: 
"What now?" - Usually you only get this feel when you finish watching a series. 
Reaction after handing in my final paper
This is one question that is not to be taken lightly, one only oneself can answer. Each one of us has different paths, different abilities, different goals in life and we must analyse them all before making our decision on what to do next in life.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT succumb to peer pressure. Be confident of your choice (be it career-wise or general). People may laugh, people may talk, people may ridicule you. But in the end, that's what people do and won't even remember after 2 weeks. If you know what you are doing, just do it!

Remember:
You are in control of your life. No one else.

  
How most students spend their holidays. Yaaaay!    
 -_-

Off topic:
The 2 month holiday that follows the exam(s) is undoubtedly well deserved and I bet people are already planning vacations, prepping up for intense gaming sessions/World Cup matches and downloading movies/series.
2 months is approximately 87658.1 minutes, which is a heck of a lot of time. Time which you cannot afford to lose, especially at this stage. Whatever it may be, do something productive! No 'couch potato-ing'. Make use of this allocated time that you will never get back again.


Best of luck in your results [Brace yourselves, August is coming!] and in the life ahead of you!
