每年的暑假前，大約是五月中到七月，就是所謂的畢業季，不論是小學、中學或是大學生，都完成了學生生涯的階段性里程碑，準備邁入下一個旅程，對許多人來說，是一件既高興又複雜的事。高興的是，終於完成了一段長時間的學習生活，不必再為考試、報告、點名而煩惱，但是，原本每天見面的同學，未來可能各自進入不同的學校、城市，甚至前往不同的國家，曾經習以為常的生活，要面臨了巨大的轉變。
松山文創學園祭是一個舉辦多年的學生畢業展活動，從策展規劃、展演場域到行銷推廣，全方位支持學生創意，讓更多人看見青年學子的熱情與潛力，所以，只要到了畢業季期間，就可以看到平常很難見到的學生作品，因為畢業展原本只是學生向老師與家長展示學習成果的活動，不對外公開，如今透過這個聯合展覽活動，人們也有機會一探究竟了，這些作品或許青澀，但是充滿著創意，通常應用最新的技術或呼應最流行的趨勢，或許在完善這些作品之後，就可以應用在實務上了。
我注意到很多學生作品旁邊，都有擺放著畢業花束、茶飲或小零食等，看起來是學弟妹送給畢業生（學長姐）的，因為畢業後將各分東西，或許未來很難再相見，這些都是學弟妹對學長姐的祝福，這些小物看起來像是畢業生的人氣指標，這些小物越多代表著畢業生在人際關係上經營的更好，不過仔細想想後，有些人朋友很多，卻不喜歡高調，也可能提前告訴大家不要送東西，所以，這些小物的多寡也不能代表甚麼，一個人的人氣與價值是不能被簡單定義的。
Before the summer vacation starts, usually from mid-May to July, it is graduation season. Whether they are elementary school students, middle school students, or university students, they have all reached an important milestone in their student lives and are getting ready to begin a new journey. For many people, graduation is both exciting and complicated. On the one hand, they are happy to finally finish a long period of studying and no longer have to worry about exams, reports, or attendance. On the other hand, the classmates they used to see every day may soon go to different schools, cities, or even countries. The life they were so used to is about to change in a big way.
The Songshan Cultural and Creative Park Graduation Festival is a student graduation exhibition that has been held for many years. It supports student creativity in many ways, from exhibition planning and venues to marketing and promotion, giving more people a chance to see the passion and potential of young students. During graduation season, visitors can see student projects that are usually not easy to come across. Graduation exhibitions were originally meant for students to show their work to teachers and family members, and they were not always open to the public. However, through this joint exhibition, the public can also take a closer look at these projects. Some of the works may still feel a little rough around the edges, but they are full of creativity. They often use new technology or respond to the latest trends. With more development, some of these ideas may even be applied in real life in the future.
I also noticed that many student projects had graduation bouquets, drinks, or small snacks placed beside them. They seemed to be gifts from younger students to graduating seniors. Since everyone will go their separate ways after graduation and may not have many chances to meet again, these gifts are a way for younger students to wish their seniors well. At first glance, these little gifts may seem like a popularity indicator. The more gifts someone receives, the better they may seem to be at building relationships. But after thinking about it, that is not necessarily true. Some people may have many friends but prefer to keep things low-key, or they may have told others not to bring gifts. So, the number of gifts cannot really define anything. A person’s popularity and value should never be judged so simply.
