Life After Graduation

Noone will tell you how it is after graduation
how it is to find an occupation
how going to school is sometimes better than going to office
how an overtime is way exhausting than a school event practice

That all the things you learned in school may not be applicable
That the thesis and other projects you worked on are only just theoretical
That good times with friends may not be as good as good times with colleagues
That it is some kind of survival-of-the-fittest world out there

People instead will tell you how beautiful it is to earn your own money
To be independent and free from all the house rules
To be able to go to places wherever you want
To buy things you have long been eyeing

They will not tell you that your bills may be greater than your wages
That your vacation leaves may sometimes be taken away from you
That getting sick during peak season is not an option
That you may not land a job aligned with your profession

Noone will tell you the life after graduation
the hesitations, the reality versus fiction
the deadlines, the distractions
the dramas, even the hefty obligations

Noone will tell you that there will be a whole lot of blood for perspiration
Disappointments, politics, even some depression 
Noone will tell you that there will be a lot contemplation
about the world, about life, about you as a person

Noone will tell you because it's up for you
to find the life after graduation

Kudos to the graduates! :)
