Graduation! WOOP-WOOP!

Two weeks ago I graduated from university. Now I've got only a few photos of the moments of that 5-year studies. It is unbelievable! I am sure I'm going to miss my uni-friends and teachers. I cannot get rid of the thought that I don't have to go anywhere on the 1st of September. I have no rigid plans or rules or duties to perform. Nothing. And that is sad at the same time. It feels like the whole era's ended... and now it's time we hopped on the last train to our happy adulthood.


When the official graduation ceremony was over, we went to a cafe that was close to the embankment. The cafe wasn't that nice to be honest. The interior design was fancy but the food and the music choice weren't. I guess, our groupmates and I would have enjoyed a more intimate atmosphere which other cafes provided. Anyway, after the dinner we went for a walk along the embankment till late in the evening. The fun part was when the storm started... It was raining heavily and we were running in search of a shelter that we finally found in a shop where Ann met her potential boyfriend who later 'stalked' her on social media.   
Then Ann and I took a taxi and went to Ann's place where we, tucked in bed, started to watch a film but fell asleep :) 
Maybe it wasn't the perfect day but it was fun and I truly enjoyed it. 
Here are some few bits of the day.

Neugier


Time passes so quickly and now it's come to the point when I am unemployed  and have no plans for the near future whatsoever. 
Of course, I knew that I was going to struggle what to do in life BUT right now what I really need (except for oxygen) is to have a good rest before jumping into 'the world of adulthood and taxes payment'. 
Next week I'm graduating from my uni but I still can't believe that I've made it that far! During my studies I often used to moan about the amount of homework we had vs limited time. Now I finally have time to do anything I want to and what is more, I have no shame lying in bed till 12 or playing Candy Crush all day long. 
For the past few days I have come across some situations in life in which my anger went from 0 till 100 (on the scale of anger). My neighbours are constantly getting on my nerves 'advising' me what to do in life saying that working at school isn't for me (how the hell you've figured it out? We barely even see each other!) or advising me to get married ASAP (wth!) because 'you shouldn't waste your time because in a few years it will be hard for you to find a lifepartner' (I am only 21 by the way) and all that jazz. 
All of this is funny to hear and I clearly understand where it stems from. But the only thing that I wanted to tell them (but didn't) is the following - This is my life and I did not ask for your advice so don't even bother telling me anything because I am just not gonna listen. I need to decide for myself what I want and when I want it. If I needed a piece of advice, I would turn to my friends or family members for it, not you. But thank you for your concern anyway. - And this would be a fair answer to their 'expatiaions' and there would definitely be no further questions.       
Except for these annoying situations, my life is going alright. I've passed all exams with flying colours and have successfully defended my thesis so now I absolutely deserve some rest (even if my rest looks like IELTS preparation or DaF Vorbereitung). 
I wish you all have nice holidays and live the way YOU want!
