The June wind with a faint fragrance of flowers blew through every corner of the campus, and also blew a faint sorrow of the graduation season. On this commemorative occasion, the School of Marine Science and Engineering has carefully created a unique Youth Carnival Time Fair for the Class of 2025 graduates. Teachers and students gathered together, froze youth with laughter, engraved friendship with warmth, and jointly wrote the last page of our campus memory in the interaction of games and the flying of songs.
【Fun Games: Teachers and students work together to pull out mountains and rivers】
In the field of concentric drums, dryland dragon boats and tug-of-war, teachers and students participated together, and cheers and laughter came and went. The counselors rolled up their sleeves to join the tug-of-war team, the usually quiet students took on the slogan in the dry land dragon boat, and the volleyball jumping on the concentric drum was like a young heart, always closely connected. At this moment, there are no teachers and students, only teammates who fight side by side, and forever vivid memories of youth.
[Campus Fluorescent Run: Draw an Arc of Youth]
When night falls, the campus is lit up with sporadic fluorescent lights. The students held glow sticks and wore fluorescent rings on their wrists, running in the wind of the summer night. In front of the check-in point, the sound of rapid breathing and cheerful laughter were intertwined, and some people bent over their knees, beads of sweat on their foreheads glistening in fluorescent, but they couldn't hide the corners of their mouths. The sweet smell of cupcakes at the finish line fills the air, and even sweeter is the sound of cheering along the way, the handwritten notes quietly pasted on the spray paintings—those unspoken blessings have turned into the gentlest starlight of the night.
[Youth Confession: Written to Self Ten Years Later]
Will you be the adult you want? In front of the booth of the Time Post Office, the students carefully wrote down their expectations for the future, either playful or affectionate, and the words were all marks of youth. These heart-loaded MMS messages are solemnly deposited into the college's time capsule, waiting to be restarted in ten years.
In front of the huge white inflatable model, the graduates held markers and wrote the message of youth one by one. Some people wrote bright future on the whole land, and some people playfully drew a smiley face symbol. The counselor also joined in and wrote a few big words on the top of the inflatable model, often go home to see, the pen is gentle and powerful. With more and more people writing, the original plain white inflatable model gradually turned into a colorful picture of youth.
[Interactive Game: The Collision of Creativity and Warmth]
Students draw miniature portraits, school silhouettes or creative graffiti on transparencies, and the magic of the heat gun bakes the original palm-sized painting into a delicate keychain or ornament. When the hot wind blows, the painting curls up and stretches in the heat, like youth tempered into eternity by time. All works can be taken away on site, this unique souvenir hides the most vivid memories of youth.
In the ring toss game of youth, we all want to get the answer we want most. In the interactive game area of the Time Garden Party, the five colorful rings are particularly eye-catching, in the face of the dream, study, friendship, love and future rings, the expectations of the students are different, and the students passing by have stopped, picked up the rings, and aimed at the one they want to hit the most.
【Charity Sale: A Relay of Warmth and Goodwill】
At the entrance of the fair, a booth surrounded by flowers exudes a burst of fragrance. As soon as these flowers carrying blessings were sold, many students carefully selected them for teachers and roommates, and some boys bought pink roses with red faces to give to their favorite girls. In the cultural and creative bazaar, customized maritime bears and delicate commemorative badges have become the most sought-after graduation souvenirs. All proceeds from the charity sale will be donated to the Lingang Nursing Home to bring warmth to the elderly there. This youthful kindness is the most tender gift left by the students of Haike to the campus.
[Youth Snack Light: Farewell Hidden in Sweetness]
The aroma of the food court fills the air on a summer night, the crystal clear ice powder glows seductively in the light, the soft cupcakes are embellished with the graduates' name sticks, and the sparkling drinks are constantly bubbling in the glasses. The students stood in front of the booth in twos and threes, holding their drink glasses and smiling at each other, and the flash lights lit up from time to time, freezing the smiling faces of youth. The counselors stood aside, looking tenderly at the children who were about to leave for the distance, and the cameras in their hands recorded their every moment of joy.
[Youth Song: Let the memories be eternal in the melody]
Under the colored lanterns, the path in front of the academy gradually gathered with figures. The dappled shadows of the trees swayed in the warm yellow light, coating everyone's silhouette with a gentle halo. The guitar strings gently swing apart, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples. Teachers and students used singing instead of saying goodbye, The Intersection of Phoenix Blossoms, Don't Be Afraid of Getting Old, Sunny Day, ...... Some sang along, some waved their mobile phone flash, and some secretly wiped their tears. When the last sentence of The River of Time Flows into the Sea is sung, those unspeakable treasures have turned into long-lasting songs in the night breeze.
This Time Garden Party does not have a grand ceremony, but it has the most attentive companionship; There are no flowery rhetoric, but there are the most sincere hugs. The sweat that dances on the concentric drums, the smiles that shine in the fluorescent run, and the eyes that intertwine in the song will eventually turn into stars and illuminate each other's future.
Dear graduates, may you have a bright future and return as teenagers. Youth does not end, we will have a period in the future!
