That wasn't too bad, was it? Looking back on it, there might have been days we had 3 tests; mornings we had to wake up at 5 am for practice; nights spent writing essays or labs. At those times, we couldn't conceive 4 more years of this, 3 more years, 1 more years, before we reached today. As we started on this long journey, the future sometimes seemed long and impossible. Now, we can see that we have more strength in us than we ever thought, the strength to work diligently for 4 years, and those long nights aren't remembered by the tearful breakdowns or empty cans of Red Bull so much as for the A's we earned.
Well today, we look forward onto life, and it seems very daunting indeed. There will be longs days, mornings that come too early, nights that last too long. In those times, remember today. Remember how you can now look back on the challenges of the past and smile, and look forward to the day you can do the same for those problems that, at the time, will seem just as intimidating as yesterdays problems once looked. Keep in mind your "graduation day" for whatever it is for you in life but remember, that place isn't guaranteed. There will be plenty of tears and Red Bulls along the way.
