| Yesterday evening I had my Swan Song in the student house.A special honoring of those who will graduate and step into the real world.I really looked forward to it and when it finally came to it, ... it sucked.People where too drunk to care and all control was gone.It really hurts to see how the student house went from what I knew it to be 4,5 years ago to what it is now.Gradually, all sense of tradition has seeped out of it, turning into a slugfest of beer and wishfull thinking about sex.It's sad.Is it true then that 'kids these days' really are going downhill, but while asking this question, I realise?it sounds ridiculous, I am only 2 - 3 years older than most of my student peers there and those that are my age are the frontmen of decadence.It saddens me beyond measure to say this, but that is something I will not miss after leaving student life.I promised myself that when I am thirty, I will go back to see what has come of canti, which, to me, are the backbone of tradition.It will have changed, but how? |
| It will have changed, but how?Will tradition resurge or will it mutate into something irrecognisable?And don't think this is just something that applies to student life.Everywhere around us tradition is warping and modernising, some to be mutilated beyond recognition, others will develop into something of greater value.The most fun I had the evening was after the traditional part had ended and I walked through the street with all the student bars.And then it dawned on me, every bar there holds a memory, both good and bad.I couldn't turn my head without seeing someone I know.It took me well over 2 hours to get through that 150 meter long street.Only then did it hit me what I was about to leave behind, what I would sacrifice to start the next chapter in my life.Truly, the prospect of graduating becomes more intimitating and seems to have an effect that increases in vastness with every beat of my hearth and twist in fleeting thought.But I am not afraid, no, I embrace it and look forward to it. |
