How to Deal When Your Friends Graduate from College

Time is running out and soon our friends for the last few years will be leaving college and taking a step into the next chapter of their lives. This all can be very overwhelming for not only the graduates but for the friends of the graduates as well. Here’s a few steps to remind you how much you love your friends and how crazy our emotions can make us.

 

 

You won’t accept the fact your friends will be graduating in two, short weeks. You might even make some snarky, sarcastic comments just to make your friends upset. You’re more upset with them for no apparent reason. You might even look for reasons to be mad so you don’t have to speak to them the next two weeks.

 

 

You know you’ve hit this stage when you suddenly start to question your life decisions. You question why you didn’t take post-secondary or more college-credit classes in high school. You tear up from any kind of graduation talk and immediately leave the room when the conversation gets started to have a quick cry. You might even become so depressed that you’ll find yourself wrapped around the bottom of your graduating friends foot pleading them not to go to the graduation ceremony.

 

 

This is it, your friends are moving on to carry out their dreams they have worked so hard for. Some will be teachers and change the lives of students everyday. Others will be doctors and nurses who will literally save lives on a daily basis. Wherever your friends are going with their lives, you will always be friends. Soon enough, your day will arrive and you will have to say goodbye too. Just remember to take a deep breath, smile and send your friends off into the adult world knowing they will prosper and achieve anything they set their mind too.
