The End Is Near

In 3 days time, I will sit for my final paper in NTU, the last paper I will have to study in NTU. With God's Will, this semester will be my final semester in NTU and graduation. Many of my friends still cannot accept the fact that they are graduating. They will be facing the harsh world out there. No more comfort zone, no more making mistakes, no more slacking and procastinating. Yes, believe it. That is the world out there. Many graduates are used to being shield by the school environment and they have not come to a situation where deadline means money. The life after university is still a white piece of canvas. The first paint may be raw and ugly but insyaAllah the second and future paint will be beautiful with many colours.

Growing up. That is the word to describe what me and my friends are feeling. As I have mentioned before, human dislike changes. We tend to do what it takes to prevent changes from happening. We can't accept the fact that after this we need to find money to support our own life. There will be decision we need to make that will affect the rest of our life. Then there is marriage to think about. No more girlfriends or boyfriends. Previous we may have reason to say that we are still schooling so marriage is out of the question but now that period is over. Much more decision coming our way.

In our eyes, we still feel young. We still want to live as a youth, carefree and no responsibility. Till now we still do childish things like making paper aeroplane and going to level 5 and throw it down. Hehehe... (you know...) We want more time to be given to us for us to enjoy being a youth. Sadly, nothing can turn back time. We are 25 years old, next year we will be 26.

Like it or not, we will grow old. So instead of still trying to relive those old times and refuse to accept the future. Let try to slowly usher in the new episode in our life. The episode that will probably bring us many good memories and experiences. It is time we learn the ropes of adult life. The life with bills, career, wife, children, religion and much more. InsyaAllah, if we keep our faith strong and continue to bring ourselves closer to Allah, He will help us and give us a good life.

Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient, perseverance and prayer, for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.(2:153)
