The day I graduated !

After being a college student for three years, my graduation day was one of the best and worst days of my life, ‘best’ because I was entering a new world of opportunities and ‘worst’ because life is not going to be the same. Although there was a hint of excitement, the sudden transition of college life into work life was difficult to digest.
Everyone of the graduating batch made lot preparations for the day, the guys had their suits ready, the girls their sarees, and those who were going to speak on the occasion had their speech ready. All of us had the traditional gown and cap to compliment our attire.
The day was special for a few because the academic and other achievements of the year were to be awarded. I too received an award for ‘corporate excellence’ for working as an intern in the last year.
An auditorium was taken on hire for the occasion. The event was planned and organized by our juniors, and backed up by the college management. The hard work of our juniors showed as the decorations and arrangements made in the auditorium looked spectacular. Parents and other honorable guests were invited to make the event even more special for the graduating batch. Some valuable advice was given to us by experience professionals of the industry and life ahead of college. The entire day went of well and we are grateful to our juniors for making this day a memorable one for us.
