Today, I’m throwing it back to one of the most memorable days of my life: the day I signed out of university.
I still remember the feeling of writing my last exam, that mix of relief, disbelief, excitement, and exhaustion all at once. For years, I had poured myself into lectures, assignments, deadlines, group work, long nights of studying, and countless moments of stressing over grades. And suddenly, in a single moment, it was all over. Just like that.
After the exam, everyone came out smiling, shouting, hugging, and celebrating. We all showed up wearing white (shirts, round necks, anything plain), because that was the tradition. And then the real fun started.
Friends, classmates, people I had known for years and people I had only shared one class with, all picked up markers and started writing on one another’s shirts. Names, inside jokes, tiny messages, signatures, drawings, prayers, anything that carried a memory. It felt like we were turning our white shirts into a living scrapbook of our university journey.
Standing there, surrounded by laughter, marker stains, and the faces of people who had walked the same academic road with me, I felt a kind of joy that’s hard to describe. It was bittersweet too, because even though we were celebrating, a part of me knew that after that day, life would never be the same again. We were all stepping into a new chapter, unsure of the future but proud of how far we had come.
That day will always hold a special place in my heart. It wasn’t just about signing shirts, it was about signing out of a phase of life that shaped me. A moment that reminded me that every long night, every sacrifice, and every effort was worth it.
And honestly, if I could relive that day again, I would, just to feel that pure, unfiltered happiness one more time.

Yes, at the moment it usually feels like a bittersweet moment, happiness and that touch of sadness that characterizes it so much, but they are still memories that accompany us forever due to their great impact on our lives. Thanks for sharing it in the community 🙏🏽
