At the end of the day there is a reason to smile. However this day is accompanied by some fear of the unknown. It is normal for every individual to have some butterflies in their stomachs when they don’t know about tomorrow.
            This day is marked by a lot of joy and jubilation for the good work done. It involves a lot of partying and having fun in the best way possible. For some it marks the end of the long boring lectures and the demanding essay writing tasks and assignments. For some it’s just a stop along the way to after which they board the bus again for a master’s program or for further studies.

Thanks to technology, nowadays further studies can be acquired at an individual’s comfort and pace. Therefore the graduation day which is a finishing marks the beginning of a new race.
