The Beginning Of Goodbye: My Graduation Day Preview

Graduation day is such a mix of emotions—joy, pride, and a bittersweet sadness. At my college’s 26th graduation day, I volunteered to serve food for four hours, and in that short time, I saw so much. Seniors were celebrating in their own ways—some laughing loudly, sitting on their friends’ laps, others playing games, and, of course, taking endless photos to freeze the moment forever.

But amidst all the fun, there was a quieter side too. I noticed a few seniors sitting in a corner, tears in their eyes, probably thinking about leaving behind this place and the people they love. Watching it all unfold, I couldn’t help but imagine myself in their shoes. It hit me that one day, I’ll also have to leave this place, say goodbye to my friends, my mentors, and everything that’s been a part of this chapter of my life.

In that moment, a thought popped into my head: How will I handle this when my turn comes? Honestly, I don’t know how I’ll bear the feeling of missing it all. It’s tough, but I realized that’s just life. We have to let go to move forward.

But there’s something comforting about knowing that life always has surprises waiting for us. Maybe the future holds even more beautiful things. That thought gave me hope and a sense of curiosity. I quieted my restless mind that day, learning to live in the moment and trust what’s ahead.


In your turn how will you handle this scenario?

The Vanishing Art Of Communication

 Have you ever found yourself in a room with a close friend, yet both of you are lost in the glow of your phone screens? I recently experienced this with a dear friend. We spent hours sitting together, physically present but emotionally distant, scrolling through reels and videos without exchanging more than a few words. It struck me—how did we reach this point? When did the joy of deep, heartfelt conversations fade away, replaced by fleeting digital entertainment? The moments that once belonged to shared laughter, thoughtful debates, and mutual understanding now seem claimed by endless swiping. Even when we finally start talking, it feels different. People today, including myself at times, seem more eager to prove their point than to truly listen. Conversations are no longer about understanding each other but about winning an unspoken argument. It’s as if we've forgotten the beauty of listening—the empathy, the connection, the respect it fosters. Are we missing out on something es...
