The end of the year has come upon Auckland City University, wherein exams are studied for, written, and the upcoming results thereof cause nail-biting tensions as bad as it was waiting the night before. It is also a time in which the campus becomes akin to that of a ghost town, with nary a soul to be seen or heard.
Either due to those aforementioned studiers working hard in their out-of-the-way, quiet spots, or else the more practical individuals leaving the drone hive for greener pastures, and the less said about the coming workload the better. But this is also a time of must waiting for and anticipation.
The end of the year isn’t just the time in which we finish our major workloads and go home for Mom’s home cooking and the reminders from whanau as to why we appreciate them (in limited periods) so much. No, this is the time at which many a student, such as myself, come to the else of a long road, either to pull in the last few yards or to complete our stay in the educational halls for good (till something especially shiny catches our interest within).
So lets take a moment, dear readers, to wish luck and love to our friends, family and associates who are coming onto one of the greatest transfers into adulthood: the workforce and the knowledge over whether your degree was as much as a waste of time as our thought it was several years earlier.
Cheers O’ privileged degree holders,
Your sibling in studies.
