Finished Grad School
Two weeks ago, I finished my master's degree in business and I have yet to celebrate or acknowledgement my accomplishment. I feel happy about it, but yet I don't feel proud or even like I've done something grand. And I don't say this in a way to downplay myself, but I honestly thought I would feel more excited. Eight years ago, when I finished my bachelors I was estatic and I defitnely felt it. I mean EVERYTHING changed after my undergrad. I moved off campus, my family came up to celebrate and watch me walk. I started a new job. Life moved forward.
However, two weeks ago, nothing changed. I make the same amount of money, I work the same jo . Even the other day, my VP told me congrats and I responded "congrats for what?" As if everyone knew I finished, but me. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be feeling or if this sort of numbness or lack of excitement is normal, but its strange.
Overall, I just feel really "light". The moment I got my final grade I felt so relaxed. It was like I finally had piece. My friends wanted to go out and celebrate my parents are super proud, but me I just wanted to finally be able to open my laptop and not have to worry about school work. It feels like the end of a long chore. That's it. I feel like I just cleaned my apartment and I'm satisfied, but there's no reason to throw a party.
As you can tell, I'm not the biggest fan of school. My approach has always been to pass my course with a B or better, rather than learn the material. Only a select few of us elite slackers and underachievers know what I mean by that. I more of a problem solver than a student. After roughly 3 years of school I had forgotten what it felt like to have nothing waying over me. What it was like to be carefree and have nothing weighing me down. It felt.. boring. I've always had this feeling of " there is something I'm suppose to be doing" And even the act of procrastinating those responsibilities was more exciting than having absolutely nothing to do.
So yeah, thats it. I've finished grad school, nothing has really changed and I'm bored and writing my thoughts out to my hearts content. For breakfast I had a 3 egg omlete with sautted white mushrooms, sweet peppers, red onions, and tomatoes with mild cheddar cheese.
