Time To Face The Real World: Next In Line By Afterimage


This weekend, a lot of schools and colleges have held their commencement exercises thereby, either moving one batch to the next level or in case of college, the next step which to make their mark in the real world. When we were younger, we all had our dreams and visions of how we want our lives to be after completing our education. The problems is that there is a big difference between what we dream about and reality and if you want your dreams to come true, you better ready to face a ton of obstacles. Some will achieve their dreams; some will settle for what they get and others tragically end their lives. Life is hard and for the latest generation who will face the real world, the song "Next In Line" by Afterimage is for you.

I remember when this song came out, I was already in line for graduation and a few years before, I knew what I wanted to be. I was naive and for that I soon realize that dreams don't easily come true like fruit from a tree. You have a lot of obstacles barring your way and only your determination will help you achieve your goal. Like I said earlier, some make it and some don't. A lot of times things don't turn out the way you want them and you got to build with what's left and move on.

The next generation is going find that out the hard way. The economic crisis isn't going to make things easier on them. Right there are people in my generation who have lost jobs and find hard to compete with the fresh batch of graduates coming in. I just hope get better because whether you're a new grad or a experienced worker, life is getting harder for everyone right now and opportunities are becoming scarce. Good to those who are next in line because they're going to need it. My generation already fell off the line and are still struggling to this day.
