Here's to the Future

Guys, we've done it!

Past

Present

We've come a long way.

Past

Present

I'm glad that I've walked this road with all of you.

And when you guys go up on that stage, just know that I'll be one of those people down there cheering with the rest of us who were slightly more gung-ho.

It has been one year and four months now that I've been out in the "real world" and I must say that what I said exactly one year ago still holds true: That the best days of our lives are behind us now. Because the best days of my life was spent growing with you guys. They were the pinnacle of learning, and now those carefree days are gone. We are all "contributing members of society" now. We have to do "responsible" things now. We can't blame naivety or lack of knowledge anymore. We are now equipped for the real world.

And I'm quite confident that we're ready for the real world.

Why?

Because we have each other.

We've gone through sleepless nights together

And we've done some pretty crazy stuff together

We've gone places together

We need to do this again soon.

And we've celebrated together

And this is only the beginning.

Sure, we'll probably not meet as often and see each other's beautiful faces every other day that we use to. Sure, we probably won't be as "close" we once were, but what's the definition of close? All I know is this: You guys had my back throughout the last FOUR (yes, this is our fourth year knowing each other...omaigoshwearesoold), and I know that you'll still have it from here onwards.

We're not sure of where the future will take us.

We could be in a dozen different countries in five years.

We could be settling down with our own families in five years.

We could be famous people in five years.

The world could end in five years.

But what is important is this. That for that little speck in human history, with all the possibilities of our paths never crossing, our paths merged. Where it takes us now is an unknown, but where we have been, I will cherish for a very very very long time.

So when you collect your piece of paper that says that you have brains tomorrow, just know that I'm going to be one of the crazy people (probably with the rest of the other gung-ho crazy people) shouting and cheering you on.

Here's to the future guys.
