I certainly am happy about finally finishing my degree and being able to reap the rewards of my labor. Having spent most of my life learning, studying for exams and writing essays, it is somewhat relieving that soon I will not have to worry about the minutiae of academic life. And yet, it is quite melancholic. For me, studying is a thrill; the knowledge is certainly a lure, but the process is what I find particularly exciting. Mastering small details, finding new approaches to problems and thinking of new ideas, all ending with a big bang–an exam. It is an opportunity to say “look, I can do it”, which makes all the stress and hard work worth it.
It is said that all good things must come to an end, but in my opinion, the ends are only the means for even better beginnings. I would certainly welcome the opportunity to remain in academia for a little while longer by pursing a graduate degree and perhaps eventually a doctorate. Regardless, no matter which path I may take, I can only hope it is as eventful and rewarding as this one.
