What is a youth

What is a youth? Impetuous fire
青春是什麼?激烈的热火,
What is a maid? Ice and desire
少女是什麼?冰霜和欲望的融合,
The world wags on
年华如此迁移下去。
A rose will bloom, it then will fade
玫瑰将盛开,而后会凋萎,
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid
青春也如是,最美的少女亦复如此。
Comes a time when one's sweet smile
笑容溢满脸颊的时候
Has its season for a while
那就是爱的季节,
Then love's in love with me
我心里充满了眷恋。
Some may think only to marry
有人只想到结婚,
Others will tease and tarry
有的人却笑弄且犹豫,
Mine is the very best parry
我的藉口最是高超:
Cupid he rules us all
邱比特沿领着我们。
Caper the caper, sing me the song
嬉戏吧玩耍啊,为我唱一首歌,
Death will come soon to hush us along
死神不久将来临,让我们缄默不言,
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
甜无蜜比,苦涩如胆,
Love is a past time and never will pall
爱虽以为过去,却永不走味,
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
甜无蜜比,苦涩如胆,
Cupid he rules us all
邱比特沿领着我们,牵领我们
A rose will bloom, it then will fade
玫瑰会盛开,而后会凋萎,
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid
青春如此,美丽的少女亦如此。

A new life has begun

(the bad english)
To finish the MA study means that you are having a lot of free time, and then you will have more chance to explore the real society, to join different clubs, to know more friends.

Also, it will let you think about what are you going to do next , you will start a new life plan, it's exciting, isn't it?
