We want to congratulate you all international students who are graduating this year. We wish you the best future and life.

We have recently asked student members of ISO "what will do after you graduate from school?". Here are some thoughts and wishes of international students as they wrote us. We are confident you can borrow some ideas on what to do after graduation.

Sneha Jagdap – "PARTYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Guillermina Cristofaro – "I hope that for that day I already have my first job as a graduate. I would love to start working as soon as I can after graduation."

Joel Dias – "Make preparations for job interviews and graduate school."

Vanessa Arita – "The day after I graduate, I want to check into a hotel and sleep in, have my breakfast/lunch order room service, and spend a day in complete relaxation."

Susana Alonso Aftyka – "The day after I graduate from my MBA program there will be three things waiting for me: God, my family in general and my future boss."

Juan Landazuri – "The day after I graduate from school I want to see my parents and family. Show them my degree and tell them: I made it!"

Maya Zadok – "I would like to be in a warm place, on the beach from sunrise till sunset thinking about NOTHING!!!"

Tawanda Mkanganwi – "The day after I graduate from school I want to SLEEP!!"

Shyam Mantravadi – "I will start the day by going to a temple and offer prayers. Then after watching a movie and some shopping, I will join a flying club to learn how to fly an air plane. Then I will join a violin class; have dinner at Waldorf Astoria, another movie, then sleep in central park."

Indira Mohandoss – "The day after I graduate, I will read the books I have been wanting to read, see the movies I have been waiting to see, visit the places I have been dreaming to go, talk to people I have just had the time to say ‘hi’ to, sleep the sleep I have missed on those sleepless nights and eat three meals without having to skip them…"

Zana Coulibaly – "Currently in my mind, the day after I graduate or the days following (after a big and nice party to celebrate of course), I want to go back to my country to ‘share’ the knowledge and experience that I’ve gathered here in the United States."

Aramayis Sedrakyan – "The day after I graduate the school, probably, I’ll go to Hawaii and take a good rest and enjoy my time, so that I won’t have to think about classes and type things, and then only after I have taken a good rest I’ll go ahead and look for a job."

Nalinda Mavilmada – "I would let my parents to know how special they are, and how much I appreciate their support and the sacrifices they made to educate me so I can have a better life."

Jinesh Maisuria – "Start looking for job and start paying may parents because they contributed so much to may college education."

Lisa Benjamin – "The day after I graduate from school, I would like to have a completely relaxed day at the beach just listening to my favorite songs and reading a novel that is completely unrelated to my career."

Nin Esmeralda – "I would love to go somewhere, near the beach… where the air seems to be cleaner than the city, where the sands are pinkish or white… Mainly go to a place where I can relax… escape from the material world and just enjoy what is left of nature… Hopefully, after a couple of days, I’ll be rejuvenated and ready to jumpstart… my working… life…"

Hiromi Omatsu – "I want to clean up my room so that my mind will be free from papers and school. No more worries about grades!!! Then go camping with my friends, away from ordinary life and open up my mind for the next step!"

Aravindan Ramarathinam – "Go on a Road Trip to Key West Florida with my friends and research group mates."

Dilyana Kirova – "The only thing I want to do the day I graduate is to go to the beach, enjoy and forget about the school."
