School, oh school. The circle of friends, the nights of getting black out drunk, the exams stress. A lot goes on inside the school walls. It’s a special moment when you finish your course with good grades. Getting your hands on that transcript you’ve toiled for, almost 20 years later. And then the graduation. Wow. Everything seems perfect. Maybe.
Once you graduate the world is your oyster but figuring out what to do next can be a daunting task. Your graduation ceremony signifies the end of an era and the start of something new but you may be left wondering, ‘what next?’.
