Page 48 - End of an Era During Covid-19

I found this TikTok quote that describes my feeling on graduat-

ing. “Today, I graduated. I wish I could look you in the eyes and
tell you that I’m excited. Y’know, maybe if things had turned out

normal I might’ve but instead four years has led to 4 months in my
house. I know I shouldn’t be upset, because of course, people are
dying and that’s what we should be worried about, but damnit,

I want to be selfish right now. I wanted to walk across that stage
and give a bow. I wanted to celebrate with my friends the fact that

we’d come to an end. Y’know we worked hard, cried hard, and
studies hard for this day. Yet, it’s ripped away like the same way
my heartstrings are torn. What do you want me to say? Do you

want me to put on a smile and say, “we did it”? or can I just admit
that I’m upset? And I don’t want to repeat myself and sound over-

saturated, but. Hey. At least I graduated.” – Ethan Jewell
