Graduation: The weather is nice today. There will be no classes tomorrow and there will be no classes in the future.
The summer of 2020 has quietly arrived as the epidemic has gradually subsided. During this huge epidemic, people’s emotions have also tended to ease. From unconsciousness to hindsight, from fear to calmness. Out of control, helpless, strong, hardworking, moved, and admired. Each word is like the time in the first half of 2020. So vivid and vivid. In this special environment, as a college graduate in 2020, I was instantly given a different meaning by the majority of netizens. The emergence of topics such as "How miserable are the graduates of 2020?" "The first class of college students in history to graduate from home" has made us, a group of prospective graduates, also start to think about whether we are really "miserable".
But time never stops for a moment because of anyone. Although there is a lack of a sense of ceremony, this class of graduates, who are concerned by the majority of netizens, finally graduated as scheduled.

The excitement in the dormitory seems to have never stopped, and the sound of keyboard tapping appears and disappears in the random music playlist, which is consistent with May. The campus is a stark contrast. The patter of raindrops brought a coolness to the campus, and was prepared to drive away the last trace of irritability in the hearts of us lucky people. Perhaps it is a deliberate reminder to us graduates to cherish the last tranquility in these four years of college life. Xiao Xi, who had just returned from the water room, gently placed the thermos on the ground. Her wet hair made her feel more energetic. "What happened to your thesis revision?" "Almost!" There are still three days left before the thesis defense. Constantly checking for duplicates and making revisions, the desktop in the dormitory was filled with printed documents. The class group message rings from time to time, announcing that we are graduating.

? The first ray of sunshine in the morning ran onto whose quilt, and the unexpected alarm clock interrupted this tenderness, and what followed immediately was After waking up from a deep sleep, the hustle and bustle of a new day started as usual, but it had a different flavor. There was no class and no sitting. Today is the day of thesis defense. Everyone's face was more or less panicked. They hurriedly packed up the fatigue of these days, put on the best makeup to welcome this important ceremony, and used all respect to say goodbye to the last scene of their student days. . The moment I walked out of the defense room, I suddenly remembered something: It turns out that everything you think is difficult at first will end in the end. And those difficulties are actually just small episodes on the road of life, not worth mentioning. Because after tomorrow there is still tomorrow.

The ringing of the phone suddenly reminded me: "Hi! The school courier will collect things downstairs in the dormitory. We can mail the things we want to take back directly. , get up and clean up quickly." Shasha's voice was still as penetrating as before. The school's notice of leaving school is the day after the defense, and you have to prepare to leave school tomorrow. Sell everything you can't take with you, but those heavy memories can't be dissipated!
In the summer of 2020, I graduated and walked out of campus with my unrealized ideals and a backpack filled with memories of our youth. Everything is over, and everything seems to have just begun. In the first formal class meeting of the freshman year, the counselor stood on the podium and said softly: "Students, welcome to a new starting point in your life. The four years of college life will be exciting, but you need to be patient. Go explore. Four years of college life is so short that you feel you are not ready to open your heart and accept the fact that you are about to graduate. So please cherish it!" But how could we do it at that time! Interpret the true meaning of what the teacher said. Just think that everything has just begun, don't rush, let it take your time. But time flies by in the blink of an eye. I remember that in the second semester of our junior year, our internship period was advanced. Shortly after the Spring Festival, we each got on the train bound for the internship place. The six-month internship started quietly amidst the sound of firecrackers. After that, everyone was busy in a strange place. During this time, I never thought that the mutual chatting in the dormitory that I was accustomed to became a kind of expectation. A chance video call can be a nice surprise after a tiring day. From that moment on, I knew that cherishing is so difficult, and suddenly I realized that our college time might really be about to expire. I still remember that every time Xiao Yun called her, I always comforted her: "It's okay, we still have a year. When we return to school, we have to eat the food in the school cafeteria. Every time we have time, we Just go out and have fun together, no regrets.” But the plan was just a plan, and we were caught off guard by what happened next. How can one predict changes? The last year is destined to leave regrets.
Seniors are what teachers call graduates, and freshman students can’t see beyond their eyes. The alternation between future and reality drives us to think, take responsibility and act. Everyone is telling us that you are no longer children, and you are about to face a rapidly changing world. Always reflect on whether you are ready? Postgraduate entrance examination, civil service examination, job fair, interview, thesis, graduation, etc. These words constitute the reality and future of every senior graduate. We are all involved in this torrent without exception, and there is no way to retreat. At the entrance of the library at 6 o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of the cafeteria at 12 noon, at the study room in the afternoon, and at the entrance of the dormitory at 10 o'clock in the evening.
These are all the memories about my senior year. This year, "graduation" is the most sensitive word we think. The original plans were not completed, and what was replaced were countless notifications from my roommates on my cell phone that I had occupied a study seat, and the figures from behind who bought me meals in the canteen at noon and were waiting for me to come over. The days were very difficult, but I knew I was happy at that time.
Regarding my alma mater, I think I hate her. I have been feeling emotional about it since my freshman year. I was disappointed with the environmental construction of my alma mater and the strict rules and regulations of my alma mater. system. I complained that I was not studying in college, but another senior year in high school. I remember the incomprehensible broadcast drill rehearsals, I remember the mandatory sitting arrangements, I remember the difficult voting process of contacting relatives, I remember the thrilling dormitory inspections every week, and the trash cans must not contain garbage. , the strange rule about not putting anything on the table. All kinds of tedious activities made us, freshmen and sophomores, exhausted. But this kind of hatred was completely washed away by the tolerance of my alma mater. I admire her very much, because at the last moment when I left her, I was convinced that I loved her and was full of reluctance and gratitude. I am grateful for the wisdom she has given me over the past four years, accompanying me in my growth, and giving me the most precious friendship. I don’t want to let go of every bit of the four years I spent with her. I don’t know if I will bring some pride to my alma mater in the future, but now I am proud of her. I will continue to move forward with everything she has given me, and I will live bravely.
? We finally graduated. Although there was no formal graduation ceremony due to the pandemic, I think maybe each of us has already held a grand graduation ceremony for ourselves in our hearts. It’s just a different way. The day before I left, my roommates and I sold the textbooks in the dormitory that we thought were expensive to the man downstairs at the cheapest price. We lamented the difference between the fuss over the price of school textbooks back then and the low-price sales now. Lamenting that our time was wasted, lamenting our ridiculous behavior: spending the last money from selling books on a relatively satisfying graduation meal. But no matter what, it is our graduation ceremony. There is no ceremony stage, no audience, no flowers. There was wine, food, laughter, and each other. There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever, so let’s toast the future with today’s wine! From now on, the troops will go their separate ways, and we look forward to seeing each other at the top!
? Some people say that graduation is a heavy verb, while others say that graduation is an unforgettable noun, but graduation is not an adjective that makes people shed tears when moved. In previous graduations, we were spectators, but this year, we have become the protagonists.
The weather is very good today. There are no classes today. We can do what we want to do. We don’t have to worry about the teacher’s sudden roll call, we don’t have to prepare difficult homework, and we don’t have to worry about getting up early. But we won’t have classes in the future either!
