Feeling lost after high school? Get to know Post-Graduation Blues and how to cope, SPU style

The period after graduating high school is a major turning point in life. It’s not strange at all to feel a bit empty, anxious, or confused about the path ahead. This feeling is known as “Post-Graduation Blues,” and it’s a normal thing that can happen to anyone. Let’s see what this condition is all about and how SPU students handle it.

What exactly is Post-Graduation Blues?

Post-Graduation Blues isn’t depression, but rather an emotional state caused by a major life change. It’s like saying goodbye to old friends, your old school, and familiar routines to step into a new world called “university” and the “future.” Common feelings include:

• Anxiety: Fear of choosing the wrong major, fear of not being able to keep up with studies, or fear of having no friends.
• Confusion: Not being sure what you like or what career you want in the future.
• Pressure: Feeling expectations from those around you and from yourself.
• Sadness: Missing the good times in high school and your friends.
