Graduation marks a pivotal transition in one’s life, symbolizing both achievement and the onset of new challenges. And with graduation season right around the corner, American singer, Phoebe Bridgers’ song “Scott Street” encapsulates the complex emotions associated with such transitional periods which resonates deeply to those navigating the bitter sweet farewell to university life.

Completing a degree is such a monumental occasion, yet it often brings a mixture of pride, relief and uncertainty. The rigid and structured environment of academia gives way to an open-ended future, leading many fresh grads to experience “post-graduation depression”; this period is characterized by feelings of aimlessness and anxiety as individuals adjust to new routines and responsibilities.

In Bridgers’s song “Scott Street”, the singer delves into themes of nostalgia and disconnection. The lyrics portray someone revisiting familiar places and relationships, only to find them changed or distant. Lines such as “Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger”, evoke a feeling of alienation that can accompany significant life changes, such as graduating and moving on from your college years.

The post-graduation phase is often marred by a sense of loss as the predictability of academic life fades. Graduates may grapple with the absence of a clear daily schedule and the dispersal of their core social circles.

Graduation is both an ending and a beginning, encapsulating a spectrum of emotions that are beautifully mirrored in “Scott Street”. By acknowledging these feelings and proactively seeking new paths, graduates can navigate this period with resilience and optimism, embracing the bright future and opportunities that lie ahead.

Anyway, don’t be a stranger.
