It is a total mess of emotions in a student's mind during this phase. For any graduation, either it is 3 years of degree or 5½ years of medicine, the final year is very very special. Why is this that special? Let us jump into that student's mind right now.
First, let us accept the fact that exams are scary but it varies in the intensity for a different student. Examinations set our minds into different zone though we are prepared or not. Our sleep, our eating habits, our free time, and our conversations with family and friends, everything changes right from the day when the schedule of examination has come out. Usually, this thing happens every time but it is a bit special for final year final examinations, let me tell you why.
After writing these exams,
Yeah, you may think why I am feeling everything so dramatically when we can be students in the future too. But guys actual student life ends in undergrad itself, in post-grad we actually study and become serious about every decision. Mistakes in undergrad is a normal thing but in post-grad, it's a crime. Everything is viewed differently because we carry that graduated face everywhere.
Most importantly we will miss our friends soo much, our journey of 3 or 5½ years of mischief has come to an end. We can't see their faces unless we plan to do so and topics of discussion will become mature.
I don't want to say this but really thank god for covid which made this separation a bit easier by habituating us to be far from college life. But I'm also mad at covid because we made fewer memories being far from all this. I know I'm contradicting my own statements because I have mixed up feelings for getting graduated.
So guys, if you feel my emotions let me know in the comment section :) Take care and wish me luck for my upcoming final year final exams :)
