Done with school

Yesterday was the last day that I'll ever have to be apart of an engineering class. I took my very last final and ran out of the lecture hall with my arms flailing in the air while shouting "I'm FREE! FREE AT LAST!". Actually, I scurried to my car in the parking lot and drove away shivering because it was so damn cold. The thought of being done with school didn't really hit me until I came home. I sat down and started to think about what exam to study for next or what other ridiculously boring engineer course I need to fulfill, I just couldn't think of an answer. That's what I realized I was done with school, done with the 5 and a half years of trying to major in electrical engineering and computer engineering. Sometimes I think about how I could accomplish this despite the fact that I knew I wasn't the engineering type and didn't really enjoy doing math. The only reason why I think I could accomplish my college education not qiving up. During my second year when I talked to my parents about how hard these engineering courses were and how the students were different from me and how I wanted to change majors, they basically said no. They said don't give up or you'll always be giving up in life. I never liked giving up but that usually applies when I playing a game on the console or computer. I never thought I'd take on something this challenging and complete it. The major lesson I learned in college is that no matter how smart or dumb(like me) you think you are, you will always encounter huge challenges in life which will bring upon you the feeling of unbearable anxiety and overwhelming hopelessness. But to give up, is to surrender your future and your dignity.
