The End of the Road...

I remember the first day in university. I had an 8 o' clock class and we weren't sure where the venue was. I had to wake up at 7 am and get ready to go for the class. So off we went, me and two other friend. But it was really easy to find. And we ended up being really really early for class. Eugene was practically my tour guide around uni. He was bringing me here and there. Even accompanying me to a class or two.
Very soon, he introduced me to his bunch of friends who all became my really close group of friends. We went to class together (or try to as much as we could...some of us were studying different courses), ate together, watched movies together, went for roadtrips together and even played basketball together. Not to mention new-found housemates that cooked and swept the floor and clean the house for me.
Looking back, I think we have all gone quite far in the journey of life. Eventually, we didn't always hung out with each other and we were all busy with our own things. But yet, we do get together once in a while. I really thank God for this bunch of friends because I think my uni life would be really different if not for them. It is the closeness and support that we gave each other that was so sweet and memorable. Friends who cover up for you when you slip, friends who got your back and never betray you.
Yes, uni is a whole lot different from high school. No doubt, we were close to our friends in high school, but nothing beats the closeness that you get in uni. We see each other more than we see our parents save for the holidays. Look at us now, all grown up and ready to step out into the working world. Now, all those times we hung out together are just memories. Here is the end of this chapter of life and the beginning of the next. And to end this post, here's a picture for you to enjoy.
