THE LAST LECTURE...


When you begin your final year of your studies, you don’t quite realize at first that after this year, you have to face reality and move into the industry and find a job.

The year 2010 I mark as the year of possibilities, changes, and big achievements. It was a tough, hard but worthwhile sticking it out until the final stretch of one’s career. There were many times when I was brought to a crossroads and had to battle with myself wondering if I made the right choice in studying this year… do I have any regrets… none what so ever.

In fact this was my best year thus far in terms of achievements and sticking my head in everywhere just to get a substantial amount of experience behind my name.

Then came the last lecture, the most unexpected day of your life. A day where you lecturer announces in a ‘by the way’ style – ‘oh and class, this will be you final lecture for the year and the rest of your life, should you decide not to pursue your masters next year.’ At first you think she was bluffing, and then slowly it sunk in… this is the end of the road for us and it came so soon.

The next thing you know you, you are in a manic display of where to, what to from here on out. It’s like you begin to experience this inner panic attack, not sure how to or if you are really ready for the industry. It’s the scariest feeling you could be feeling, but at the same time very exciting, electrifying, sad and one does not know what to possibly do with all these emotions all at one time.

Then finally, you have to make peace with the fact that all good things must come to an end in order to allow new adventures and experiences to spring from it.

PS: I found this year to very educational and uplifting in every sense possible, and everything of the best to the Public Relations Management B-tech Full/ Part time class of 2010, may be only the best we can be in whatever it is we are best at!

Until Next Time… Chow Bella 
