Warning : The following content is not intended to offend any individual and is merely an introvert's point of view towards farewell parties.
Yay Farewell !....really ? I would rather call it a meeting of over enthusiastic extroverts trying to spread chaos and have fun. In simpler words, it is an excuse for people to dress up and click duckface selfies for a better Facebook profile picture. There is an unnecessary hype being created by the same people who organize it. They call it their last time at school with friend. And I am like, you said the same thing thrice before exams !
Then comes the emotional side of the story. People around you will suddenly start feeling sad about the fact that they will not be able to meet each other, while posting the same on social media as their status. Isn't it contradictory ? If this was the case twenty years back, it would've been justified. But now since generations have passed and technology has evolved, we have a thing called social media which enables you to stay connected with your friends. And you write in social media that it was your last get-together ??
While engaging myself in a conversation with my friends, suddenly a thought pops up in my mind which was that I should have had googled "23 ways to rock at a farewell party" before attending one. I ended up smiling like a seal during moments of awkward silence and making a complete fool of myself.
Another aspect of farewell are the dance performances and speeches by your juniors which were quite interesting. Just to keep the party going on there will be some small games which you will have to participate in , while rest of the audience will stare at you.
Some overly dressed girls with glittery makeup and accessories will be the centre of attention for both the boys wanting to click a selfie with them, and the girls who would gossip about how their shoes did not match their dress. Once the performances are done, behind every pillar and every wall, you will find a group of people clicking selfies by showing off their thirty two teeth.
The next thing one will have to face at a farewell party are teachers. Each and every teacher will come to you and ask the universal question which I have not yet figured the answer for, which is "what are your future plans ?". The teachers being your kind well wishers will give you some words of wisdom which will surely help you. Good Luck !
