I did it! I successfully passed my state exams and I've earned a master's degree, yay! I've been so terrified of the exams because many people around (classmates and lecturers both) think of me as a very, very smart and critically thinking student... so I was afraid that they would expect some sort of miraculous performance of me during the exams that I won't be able to fullfill. In the end the exams weren't all that teriffying, my lecturers were very kind and understanding of my inability to be as eloquent in my verbal speech as I am in my writing. That's a rare thing at university and it speaks volumes about our department.

I loved past 2 years at gender studies. I learned so much and I like to think that it helped me to grow as a person immensly, and at the same time made me realize how learning is never ending journey. I met awesome lecturers who not only passed a great deal of knowledge onto me but they also gave me a lot of direct and valuable feedback. I will miss them greatly. I will miss our class discussions where it was possible for me to engage in critical discussion with people who appreciate my point of view, people who see me as a talented and smart person. I don't get that sort of recognition very often, people mostly think that I am strange, that my views and thinking is odd/unconvential - which is not always a compliment.
In a way, I'm terrified now more than ever. Because now there is a gaping abyss in front of me. A great period of my life has come to an end and it feels like one wall of my internal world has shattered, I can't lean on it anymore. And I know that my future life will be whatever I'll make it to be, and this responsibility is awesome and scary - both at once.

I know that there are good things ahead. I'll make it so. But right now, I just feel like crawling in bed and staring at the ceiling. Let me rest before I leap. Let me cry for a bit, mourn the life period I'm leaving behind. I'll be back in a few days with more positive attitude. I can't stand wallowing in past for very long

Congratulations, and lo siento. And congratulations! You can handle everything. But there is no need to rush and grow up. To be responsible is fine, but also it is important to be balanced. You have a good head, and you can make it in the world.

That's great to hear! Congratulations on graduating! I'm actually starting college myself soon, and there are some things about it that are kinda scary to me, but more than anything I'm excited to get my life started and. I hope my experience can be as positive as yours was! Enjoy this time, recharge, and good luck in your future endeavors!

The fact that some people think you are strange just makes you that much more interesting to me.

Having crossed my own rather terrifying bridge this year, coincidentally on a gender-related journey, I understand how you feel. Take comfort from the fact that the place you will be walking too, while perhaps not as familiar or comfortable as the bridge you have been traversing while studying, is part of the destination you have been working toward. You made it! And you walked there on your own two feet. This is an accomplishment that no one will ever be able to take away from you, either the learning or the memories of the good and challenging times you had.

And as you can see from the responses here, you have lots of friends willing to share and support you along this new journey!

(and to appreciate your wonderful art as well, of course!)

Well done, Eli!

Please feel free to have discussions here, through your poll or journals. You're not an odd person, you are who you are meant to be

Often, I have stood before abyss's and this will pass for you, as the darkness ahead, brightens and then new paths for us to explore start to present themselves.

I can always be noted, if you wish to speak privately.

You will be fine, my friend
