My Cambridge University Graduation | laugh and cry with me 🖤

Hope you watched till the end - my love letter to you 🫶🏽
The official end.
Graduated from the University of Cambrige (Girton College) in Natural Sciences (Zoology)
A massive thank you to:
Smriti, my friend from high school, who got into Oxford the same time I got into Cambridge. From being worried about not fitting into Oxbridge, going through the high and lows of it all, and both of us having graduated from Oxbridge - it’s been incredible having her by my side as a trusted confidante and dear friend for so many years. Apart from all other talents she possesses, Smriti has a beautiful way with words and a knack for capturing the most special moments. And it was so special that she was by my side during graduation, vlogging a lot of the precious footage you’ve seen in this video.
Ammie, my photographer. Having the technical skills to take incredible photos is great. But it’s even more of a talent to make others feel like the main characters. Ammie’s energy made me feel like the superstar throughout the day as she expertly guided my friends and I through such creative poses. Above all, Ammie knew exactly when, where and who to click, capturing priceless emotions in her pictures.
My Girton and Cambridge friends whom I got to share this day with, without whom it really wouldn’t have felt as special. And a special shout-out to Nivi, Preena and Anish who showered me with so much love despite not graduating themselves on the day 💛
My dear parents, who flew all the way from Singapore and put up with the UK just to watch me graduate. They stayed up late the previous night as I went through the plan for graduation day with them at least 10 times. And then woke up early on the day because I jumped into bed with them as I just couldn’t contain my excitement. They are the wind beneath my wings and I can’t believe they actually saw me graduate!
My brother, best friends, family members and family friends who tuned in LIVE for the Senate House ceremony from all around the world. I truly felt their love and blessings in that moment - such an indescribable feeling.
Lastly to ALL OF YOU - it means the world to me that you have sailed along with me on my Cambridge journey. The amount of love and encouragement I’ve received from this KZbin community, people who perhaps don’t even know me personally, is unbelievable. It is because of you all that I feel safe to be myself on such a public and vulnerable platform - thank you for cradling me in this space.
At every end is a new beginning, and I’m nervous and excited to explore that soon. I hope you stick around to watch 💛💛💛

Congratulations Choti 💐💐

[@SailingwithSharvani]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting aunty 🙏🏽💛

[@cephalopod7300]

CONGRADUATIONS!!! I felt surprisingly emotional watching this, in a good way though! It really does not seem long ago that you were in first year and I discovered your channel but it's honestly my favourite on KZbin. It has to be up to you whether to continue as you definitely don't owe us viewers continued coverage of your life, but even if you decide not to vlog regularly and then post a video in like ten years just to say you're still sailing it would be so cool to see you post again. Maybe I should join Instagram to keep up! It was great seeing cameos from your family and Anna and Fengyi and Smriti again (great voiceover work as befits someone educated at Oxford), and people whose faces I recognise from previous videos. I had so many highs and lows at uni, where I think we'd have got on if we'd studied at the same time and place, and you're an inspiration in how to make the most of those three short years. If there are offer-holders reading this, watch and learn! You and Mohit are so wholesome too so thanks for introducing us to him. Save some mango lassi for me though, I love that stuff. Seriously couldn't be happier to see someone I've never met graduate, and I wish you success and happiness in whatever the next chapter of your life holds. P.S. Cambridge could greatly increase its graduation rate by employing a cephalopod praelector as degrees can totally flow through tentacles 🐙

[@SailingwithSharvani]

I was smiling throughout this entire comment, Cephalopod - THANK YOU TONS for always being there, always leaving a comment with the kindest ever words. It’s people like you who shower me with so much love that inspire me to show random acts of kindness to strangers. You have no idea how much it means to me 💛 I wish I could give you a massive hug and thank you in person - but these messages will have to suffice. Thank you, thank you, thank you - it’s people like you who keep me going 🥰😘🙏🏽 It’s super sweet how you recognise the faces of people important in my life! And yes, Cambridge really needs to broaden their prerequisites - seriously losing out on wise teachers such as you!😛

[@swathieswaramurthi603]

Congratulations Sharvani! So proud of you darling 😊 Looking forward to catching up soon… with my favourite Cambridge graduate 😆 P.S: loving your mum’s sari choice!

[@SailingwithSharvani]

Ahh, such high praise - cannot wait didi!! 😋😍 and thank you, I’ll let Amma know ☺️

[@shalinichakraborty3537]

Literally this video made me cry🫠.......manyyyyyyy manyyy congrats sharvani🎉...long way to go❤....and yes, whatever you do, just keep vlogging😘😘

[@SailingwithSharvani]

Aww Shalini, thank you tons!!! Indeed, long way to go ☺️ Continuing vlogging is something I think about a lot - whether to, and how to now that I’m out of Cambridge. But having a community with people like you who show me so much love for content about my life as a whole rather than just the Cambridge aspect is truly heartwarming. Thank you so much for giving me the space to be myself online - sending buckets of love 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@shalinichakraborty3537]

[@killimnishanth7071]

[@SailingwithSharvani]

Thank you! Haha they were so slow and fast at the same time - a great chapter of my life 💛 Yes I am! I’m starting a masters at Imperial 😊

[@kavithaguna2319]

[@SailingwithSharvani]

Hi Kavitha, I didn’t engage any consultancy services - just my school college counsellors! Best of luck :)
