Goodbye and thanks for all the...help...

It seems that all I’ve been doing in 2008 is saying goodbye. Goodbye to my sister, to friends who transferred before me, to the friends I’m leaving behind…and it’s not easy. Saying goodbye is never easy. With every goodbye your heart aches a littlea lot, depends really...but with every goodbye I’m saying goodbye to a part of me too.

As of Dec 4th, I am no longer a student of
HELP University College. I was a little bit emo because of that…okay a lot. That’s why I was on hiatus. Now, I’m not saying that HELP is awesome, it is not. Seriously. They’re always fucking around with our results, the classes are all fucked now that they are expanding the campus- so much so that we don’t even have proper, designated classrooms anymore and dude- don’t get me started about the lack of cafeteria.

Nonetheless, HELP has been a huge part of my life for the last 2 years. The memories I formed within those halls, the joys I experienced, the drama I created just for the kicks, the cute guys I spied in class, the assignments I plagiarized, the gossips I heard…and perpetuates, the embarrassing moments in time….but most of all the people I met there. Those people who at first were nothing more than strangers who just happened to sit next to me in class, who tapped my shoulder asking to borrow a pen, who got thrown into a group assignment with me, who stood in front of me in line, who just happened to smile as I walked by…strangers who in time turned into friends. Strangers, who are now my good friends, people who will always have a place in my heart.

I remember the things I’ve said before starting in HELP. “Oh, I probably won’t make any friends.” “Private college kids are just rich, spoilt brats- I’m not included.” “I probably won’t get close to anyone cause they’re all backstabbing bitches.” “Bla bla bla.” What differences two years have made. How I am now forced to eat my own words….

Now that I am at the end of my 2 years stint; I will no longer have days when I wake up at 6 in the morning, groan and then yelled out how much I fucking hate HELP. I no longer will give dirty looks to the snobby old men who worked in the library. I will no longer curse the damn internet connection in college. I will no longer bitch bout the office administration. I will no longer screamed out vengeance on the lack of parking spaces in main block…or smell like the mamak after lunch. Those things are no longer part of my life. And for that, I am thankful.

There is joy in moving on and leaving. But there is sadness as well. At least I will always have the memories- the good ones and the bad ones. And when it comes down to it…when things are at end, that’s all you have right? The memories of what was once. And the friends who will always be part of you, no matter how far you go in life.






Goodbye.

Bittersweet.
Take it from someone old enough to be your, er um, "Auntie": cherish these memories because they will only become more important as you get older.
Now - revel in the excitement and anticipation of what is in your near future!
Congratulations, TCDO!

Frank said...

*sigh* I graduate from my college in the spring. I've been here 4 years and I'd rather not move on if I had the choice.

siedne said...

i thought the exact SAME thing too when i first started: never gonna make friends, everyone is spoilt. mostly true, but with a few exceptions, thank GOD.

you're one of the exceptions! ;)

Tinesh said...

Jaak:

You are soooo very...strange...

Technodoll said...

You'll be OK, hun, you'll be ok... At least the blogging community isn't one you need to say goodbye to, unless we piss you off or something. Right? Right :-)

Unknown said...

ah, i felt the same thing too when i was leaving to high school. I've been in the same school since kindergarten so i know everybody already. Yes, including the staff ;)

and moving to a different high school terribly terrifying!
But, like you, i also made my bestest buddies there :)

btw, woman, 5days without your post make me insane! lol.
glad you've back :)

so, here's to all the dramatic things happen to you, all the sunflower you'll grow, and all the gorgeous hunk you'll meet in that faraway country! *cheers*
