So, it's finally over. Undergrad studies I mean. Never thought that this day would come, since I started studying at Monash 4 years ago. Now that I have time to actually sit down and let this whole "OMG-I'm-Graduating" episode sink in, I've come to this realization that I'm not as fearless as I thought I would be.
1. Friendship
The friends that I made in university are one of my most cherished relationships. They're genuine, albeit with ups and downs, but they're what they are- real. No hidden motives, no using friendship as an excuse to obtain something else, just pure love for each other. As I neared the end of my student life, I found myself asking this question, "will the friendships that I make at my workplace be as genuine as those that were cultivated in university?" My perception of university friendships could be discounted as naive or idealistic. But I have been blessed with amazing friends who have journeyed with me throughout these 4 amazing years. While I do look forward at making new friends when I start to work (Oh Lord, I hope that would be soon!), I wonder if it is wrong to have a reservation regarding these future friendships.

2. Being jobless
Nothing much to say. I'm picky with jobs. I don't need to have a high-profile job, I just want to work in an MNC. Big companies which pay decently. Looking at how some of my friends had a difficulty finding jobs just scares me. But I doubt that I'd be jobless for a long time. :))
3. Now what?
Yes, the big "Now What?" question. Now that I've graduated, what now? Do I want to do something purposeful with my life before applying for internships/jobs? What do I really want to do? What do I want my career line to be? Do I want to work here, or do I want to work elsewhere? What is my God's purpose for me at my workplace?
Questions, questions, questions.
Above all, I am thankful that I have a God who is always with me and for me. I am secure, knowing that He is always there beside me, walking me through the different stages of life.
