Had my graduation ceremony on Friday. HOW ANTI-CLIMATIC. I had envisioned a montage of nostalgic moments, me crying tears of happiness, inspired and touched by the proceedings and an incredibly wistful soundtrack in the background. Just like a 90s high-school/college movie. Lord, what I got was nothing like that. It was 'meh', for lack of better words. Our guest speaker was a film director/photographer, and I feel as though he tried really hard to underline the importance and underrated-ness of the arts industry. To reassure us that we haven't spent the last few years of our lives for shit-all. Futile. He did, however, say something somewhat sentimental and inspiring. Let me paraphase: 'Live a life out of love and beauty. Because at the end of the day, nothing else will matter'. I guess, in lieu of the more 'serious' degrees like Business, Law and what not - I can imagine our speeches being more lalallalalalala life is so beautiful, creativity is awes...
