March was supposed to be many things to us graduating students.
It’s a time for lasts: last outings, last finals, and last days. Unfortunately, all of these lasts came a little too soon. NCR, and in extension, the entire island of Luzon, is in lockdown.
COVID-19 has been the biggest scare of the decade so far—and we’re only three months in. I see the need for the lockdown, no doubt about that, but it’s hard not to be frustrated.
Plans get cancelled or postponed left and right. Things as simple as a final meal out with friends to graduation now exist in the intangible confines of our minds (and jokingly, in video games such as Minecraft).
Perhaps we’ll never get to wear our togas and toss our hats, maybe we’ll have no opportunity to dance and celebrate to music, there’s the chance of us never getting to say and hear a proper goodbye to and from our high school barkadas. The world still turns and we’re still here, we simply have to persist.
Maybe what we need now is to breathe. It’s already a time for change for us seniors, with the flurry of activity from both school and college application work at the forefront of our minds. This storm will pass.
March is still many things for us all, maybe just not in the way we expected it to be. We may not be marching on the stage, but hey, we now know how it feels to be given marching orders . And just like how we’re not tossing our hats yet, we’re definitely not tossing any ounce of hope that things will be better.
