Thoughts on Graduation

College graduation. A special event which every college student dreams of. Every college student hopes to graduate on time, together with his batchmates. Nothing beats the experience of ascending the stage, taking your bows, and finally getting the one thing college students aspire for - the college diploma. 30 seconds of fame.

30 seconds. 30. seconds. Half a minute. What a college student gets after four (or in some cases, five) years of hard work, perseverance, headaches, migraines, ulcers, insomnia, and aching and blistered feet (the result of running all over campus trying to catch up with your professors in the hopes of getting them to accept your final thesis draft). Some would finally say, "Is it even worth the effort?"

Aaahhh... The price we pay for fame. But then again, fame is an expensive thing.
