A Toast
May 27 2008
It’s the end of an era. Today, at 11:30 am, myself and a group of my friends finished the last exam of our university lives, marking the end of our degrees. We won’t get our results for several weeks, but this is where our influence over the result stops.
In short, university has been fantastic, and I’ve had the time of my life. I’ve made some truly fantastic friends, and I sincerely hope that we’ll all keep in touch, and stay close. I’m planning to write a blog entry soon discussing some of my favourite times.
Whilst it’s been incredible, it’s also been tough, and I’ve worked harder for this than I ever have for anything before. I know that whatever class degree most of my friends and I attain, we’ve worked our absolute hardest, and that’s what counts.
So, I would like to propose a toast (feel free to hold up your glass of champagne, squash, juice, cola, beer, smoothie, or what ever else) to the class of 2008: we made it through, and we should be damn proud of ourselves. To my friends: every one of you is awesome in your own way and I know that personally, I probably wouldn’t have made it through without you. I’d also like to thank Hannah, my wonderful girlfriend, for supporting me right through, and for being utterly incredible. And finally, I’d like to thank my parents, without whom I wouldn’t have got here in the first place. I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done.
Finally, looking to the future, here are a couple of links to motivational stuff that I love:
