A belated congratulatory gathering was held for finally completing everything related to Primary and Secondary school. We did it. Through blood, sweat and tears, we finally made it. To this day it still feels enormously surreal whenever someone brings the HSC up. There is still a small part of me that reminds me "go study," but then again, what is there to study for?
With that aside, I cannot express the amount of excitement I have for all my close friends who eventually became family throughout these years. I don't think I'll ever forget the day where we all all-nightered in anticipation for both our results and our ATAR. We all did exceptionally well. I don't think I'll ever forget the time when I literally lost my shit for everyone because of how well they did, and to my surprise, how well some people surpassed my expectations. The feeling was unreal - the smile that never left me for the entire week. To an extent, the suffering from the endless nights of studying, immense workloads and the crap tonne of stress manifested is somewhat justified through excitement, joy, never ending smiles and relief that follows after finishing. To those who still have a couple of years to go, trust me, if you work hard, you will get what you deserve and it'll be worth it - or maybe that's just my opinion entirely.
Just imagine, that final day of your final exams. The final minute before the examiner tells you to place your pens down. You anxiously look up and all you can see are smiles that surround you. Everyone around you are hugging each other, some in tears of sadness, and others in tears of joy followed by the phrase "We made it". Seriously, that feeling of relief CANNOT be replicated by anything else. It's just.. there's just no words to describe it. To this day I still cannot believe it. So just hang in there, those few others who still have the last few stretches to go, it'll be worth it, I promise.
But to those who have completed such an amazing feat, congratulations. We still have a couple months to go before we set out on another 'journey' (ha yr11 reference anyone?). Before we have to face reality once again and study our asses off for the next 4 - 6 years. Party hard, because we deserve it.
Peace homies.
