Shouldn't People be Happy about Graduation?

I’m graduating soon, and honestly… it kind of sucks. My name is Joshua Chen, I'm a second year journalism student at Fanshawe college and for the past couple of weeks I've been feeling a lot of anxiety about what I’m going to do after graduation. I’m not alone in feeling this way either, posts across social media, health websites, and even medical reports are calling it “post graduation depression”. But is it real? Is life outside of school really that bad? In this podcast I spoke to JC Simpauco about what life is like after graduating and how the people you meet along the way might shape who you are as a person.
