Here`s what happens when most of us graduate from university…
During the university graduation period of December 2014, I
wrote a facebook post that gained some form of attention from some of my
friends both on and ofline…
That post centered more on what happens when the boys
graduate, but the truth is this my dear friends; when we graduate, both boys
and girls, life changes…life begins. Things become a lot different in almost
every aspect of our lives…
On graduation day, everyone is all smiles and jovial, there`s
lots of food and drink for everyone, new clothes and shoes, probably a gift
from a loved one; taking pictures everywhere (even with your enemies)…just a
lot going on that day. And above all, there`s lots of cash in your pocket; but
here`s what`s about to happen…
For the girls (ladies)…
You start thinking marriage, and you`ll likely jump on any
opportunity to get married, even when it means mercilessly dumping your
boyfriend.
You probably start getting fat because you`ll be sitting at
home a lot more, watching tv
You no longer get as much attention from the guys as before,
because you`re `old school`, and there`s `younger and better` out there. Don`t
worry, we both know that you had your days, let the newbies enjoy theirs.
You begin going to church more, more likely a `born again`
church, and you try to look your possible best on every outing or invitation
(even when going for a kid`s birthday, or even a funeral…like seriously).
For the boys…
You probably got dumped by your girlfriend around graduation
time, because she`s looking for a `real relationship` with a `real man` with a
`real job`. Don`t worry, most of them return after touring the world and not finding
what they were in search of.
You start acting desperate because you think you`re running
out of time. Should you continue looking for a job, should you continue with
your education, should you travel abroad? Your head is bombarded with ideas.
If you`re a driven individual, you get so consumed with your
concerns for your future that your concerns for fashion, leisure, relationships,
social activities and even personal hygiene almost fades. May be this is
actually a good sign.
Amidst all these changes, I have come to realize that what
matters is not how fast you go in life, but how far you go. Take for example
the girl who dumps her `small boy` boyfriend for the `real man`, only to realize
that the realize that it was just a sneaky guy taking advantage of her
situation; only to return to her `small boy`
boyfriend to find out he`s moved
on…
What about the guy who get`s so desperate that he decides to
travel to the most available country that grants him a visa, say Uzbekistan; he
could have had a better life at home, but we`ll never know, since he`s gone to
Uzbeki…I can`t even pronounce the name.
So my dear sister, be patient with `small boy`, you don`t
know what the future holds. And you brother, you`re just 22 (or may be 23), if
you`re still jobless at 36, the you would have failed then, but not right now
