We wish you a merry christmas sidenotes6/25/2023 ![]() You will have an ache in your jaw, pains in your feet, and you’ll probably be staaarrvin. You’ll have to smile for your Mam, your friends Mam, your Mams friend, and her Mam. As in, you’ll be standing around for HOURS having your photo taken. (What do you think?!) The thing is that everybody at your graduation will become snap happy. We tried to come up with a fun way of saying “snap happy”, and snappy was it. If you have a degree, nobody can ever take that away from you. It’s a massive achievement to have gotten this far. Please listen to us when we say it’s not worth the stress! It will all be GRAND. Getting there on time, organising a family meal, collecting your robes, wondering what the hell you are going to do with your life after you leave the bubble of college world. There are lots of stressful elements to graduation day. So, here at oxygen.ie, because we are so sound, we’ve devised a simple and comprehensive graduation guide to help you along. And, along with all this hype, often comes STRESS. There has probably been a fairly big build up to your day – making sure your family book time off work to celebrate the four years of absolute craic you just had, trying to find a measuring tape at home to see what size gown you need, and wondering what way you will stand for the Snapchats and Instagrams on the day. (Sidenote: we have no idea who Punch is, and what he had to be so proud about). And here they are again, all these years later, your Dad in the suit he hasn’t worn since your communion day, and Mammy sporting that dress she got on sale in Marks & Spencers after Christmas. ![]() Expect tears in their eyes as they recall the day they dropped you off to move into that smelly, damp student accommodation all the way back in first year. If, for some mad reason, you’re feeling ecstatic about entering the real world (the one full of unemployment and struggles to pay back your student loans) – don’t worry – your parents are going to be be nostalgic on your behalf. ![]() It’s hard to believe that it’s been YEARS since you flew the nest and switched to your staple diet of pasta, Aldi vodka and bad decisions – so it’s only natural to feel a little nostalgic about leaving that life behind. A few exciting projects are in the horizon, but most importantly, I pray that there would be joy, healing and breakthrough in my, as well as your loved ones.It’s graduation day – the most important day of your life, apart from your first holy communion (obviously). I’m not going to be able to do everything and I’m ok with it :).īefore I sign off this last post of the year *insert wide-eye emotion*, I wanna say that I have so much hope for 2017 to be a fantastic one. It is very anti-climatic but that’s just the way it is for now, considering how hectic things are. In fact, I have a hunch that blogging might not resume till mid-Jan as I will have 2 weeks of crazy work schedule the moment we get back. Mr M and I will be heading to Cape Town tomorrow to spend some time with his family so there won’t be any regular blogging throughout that period. I might even journal a few points to help digest and understand those feelings and experiences throughout 2016, and device a game plan for 2017. It is not possible for me to list out all the highs and lows now, but I would definitely want to have some quiet time to reflect on the year that was. This year has been crazy busy and memorable, but of course it’s not a year without challenges and anxieties. Just a quick one here to wish you guys MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
