The End of an Era
In an effort to share more of myself with you guys I created Books for Life. I talk about my life outside of this sanctuary called the blogosphere. Hopefully you guys like getting to know the girl behind the blog a little bit more.
I am officially a graduated university student!!!
I’ve been a student for 16 of my 21 years of life so far, and on Monday 15th December, I left university life behind. Although, not student life – but that’s a post for another day ;D
University was hectic. From those first few scary weeks/months/year following high school to the third year when I lost friends and travelled to the Great Barrier Reef and the Australian outback to this year full of procrastination, moaning, and hours of research – uni has been one helluva ride. But one that I am so glad I took, and wouldn’t take back for the world.
And now here I am, a graduate of Bachelor of Science Advanced with Class 1 Honours. Doesn’t that sounds pretty fabulous? I certainly think so ^.^ So much work was put into these four years of uni, and it feels excellent to have it all paid off.
On Monday I was reminiscing my primary (elementary for you US people) school graduation where I cried the entire day because I knew my whole life was going to change, and my high school (junior and high school combined for USers) graduation where I cried again but not as much because high school was kind of shit, but still. And then this graduation came upon me and I don’t really feel sad or anything. I kind of feel awesome, because it’s done and I have a Bachelor with First Class Honours and I’ll have that for the rest of my life.
Anyway. Enough with the sap, right? :D PICTURE TIMEEEEEEEE
Guys, I was so happy with my hair. I just told my hairdresser to do whatever she wanted, and this is what she came up with! I loooooooove it.
This was my first time in a graduation gown and cap, since we don’t have them in high school here (booo). It was so freaking heavy omg.
Mummy dearest and I after the ceremony <3
Me and my precious darling baby Figaro.
Me and my lifelong friend, Aristocat.
So there you have it. The ceremony itself was incredibly boring, and there were like 500 students graduating so there were a lot of names called. OH and the ceremony person said my name incorrectly. Kiara instead of Chiara. SIGH. I get it a lot, so I was actually expecting it but still. Now the video has my not-name on it, haha.
And because this post is being written on Tuesday, I AM OFF TO HAVE FOUR WISDOM TEETH OUT. Adios, amigos!
Congratulation! That’s a big step and a huge accomplishment. I remember feeling very proud of myself when I walked across the stage at my college graduation. I still have two more to attend (my Masters hooding and my Doctoral gowning). Here’s me with my fingers crossed and a prayer for my sanity. :) Congrats though, take time to soak up the accomplishment and try not to stress too much about the future!
WOOO CONGRATS ON GRADUATING!!! I’m graduating high school next year and I’m terrified O_O Good luck for whatever comes next :D
CONGRATULATIONS, CHIARA! How exciting it must feel to graduate university after all of that hard work. :D YOUR HAIR LOOKED EXTRA, EXTRA AMAZING. I’m starting university and I’m terrified but excited all at the dame time. Good luck with whatever comes next. :)
CONGRATULATIONS! You should feel awesome! (And I love your hair!) :P
Congratulations Chiara! I love your hair, and it is so boss for something like your graduation. :D
Congratulations and your hair looks amazing :D!
Eeeep, have I ever told you how fab your hair looks?! If not, you should know how much I love you rocking that locks! Gorgeous! Aaaaand congrats, it’s bittersweet, right? I remember when I graduated, it felt surreal that I’m not student anymore (although I ended taking post graduate studies 2 years after LOL). But it does make your reminisce all the things that has happened. And it does make you feel proud of what you have accomplished! So congrats again!
AHHH CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look amazing :D When I saw the pic on instagram I thought you had cut your hair but now I see it’s just all pulled up :P I was going to freak out lol.
I hope the wisdom teeth are going well and you’re healing fast!
CHIARAAAAAAAAA. CONGRATS ON GRADUATING! REAL WORLD TIME.
Your hairdresser did a fabulouuuuuussss job on your hair. It’s sooo pretttty!
Yikes, I hope you’re doing well with your wisdom teeth taken out. The recovery period is always the worst, but you’ll put through it! :D
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 16 years is a long time to be studying/at school. The other day I realised that by the time I graduate I’ll have been in school for 18 years D: What a waste of precious reading time :P
Good luck with your wisdom teeth removal!
CONGRATSSSS CHIARA! It definitely sounds impressive BUT YOU’RE AMAZING SO IT’S ALL TRUE :D

Congratulations! So exciting! :)
Yahooo!!! Congratulations Chiara! I can only imagine how it feels like to finally graduate. Wow, I’d be scared since school is finally done, but I’d be happy too because you don’t have to worry about finals etc. and you get to have new experiences. Also, your hair looks super cool! I love purple and I was actually thinking of getting the ends of my hair dyed in the color purple haha.
Congratulations, Chiara! Your hairdresser’s pretty awesome; your hair looks absolutely amazing! And, eep, good luck getting your wisdom teeth pulled out! Four of them? It sounds really painful ><
