5 Things you realise after your final exam is over

So, the four, long years of college have finally come to an end.

The exam is over. So, what's next?

1. The exam is over. But the department loves you so much that they tell you "boy, dont rush off to enjoy in the big big world, you still have your final year project waiting for you." So, it's not really over yet. The euphoria that bursts out into the thin air just gets deflated like a party balloon. You then realise you are in this weird limbo, between celebrating the end of college exam, taking a break, and doing your project. Then, you crawl back to your desk and look up to the Queen's message : Keep Calm and Carry On.

2. The library is getting quieter. So, this is pretty weird. Library is at the peak of its noise level when everyone is preparing for the exams. And, library is turning back into a library, after exams. Where you don't get people eating, where you don't get people making noise, and where you don't get people reserving for places. Oh. and we don't sleep in the library anymore.

3. The weather. There's a famous saying about London weather: "If you don't like the weather, just wait for a few minutes". Before that, you were in the library 24/7, (well dont take it literally, while for those who take it literally, god bless you) so the weather didn't really affect you. Now, you have a couple of minutes to spare, and you start realising the weather is not as sunny as 2 weeks before, and you start questioning, "where did the sun go?" And, the sun leave a message on it's unreachable cellphone: "i am on a summer vacation, will be back soon. ttyl"

4. The room. Your room is the one single place you are most afraid of after exams. It's full of small, little hills built out of your notes, past year paper exams and text books. Then, looking at them, with your mouth wide opened, you don't know where to start to tidy up your room. Then, a brilliant idea came into your mind. "Oh, I still have a final year project to do."

5. The notes. Should I burn it? Should I throw it away? Should I bequeath this treasure to the juniors? Or should I bring it back to my home country? With so many questions running in your mind, saying a yes to the 2nd question is the usual option. One, you recycle and help the nature. Second, you save the troubles for yourself to keep thinking about it.
