Collège Ahuntsic Exhibition: No more school fun.
Crédit: One of the most paradoxical moments in a student’s life is celebrating the last year of school before being thrown into the real world. This frightening point has arrived for 56 graphic design students at Collège Ahuntsic as they’ll be exhibiting their sum of their creative efforts this coming Wednesday before they embark on the buoyant journey to professional employment.
One of the most paradoxical moments in a student’s life is celebrating the last year of school before being thrown into the real world. As a Communications student, I know that I have many times yearned that each essay I write be the last while simultaneously dreading the day I would have to hunt for a ‘real’ job.

Collège Ahuntsic as they’ll be exhibiting their sum of their creative efforts this coming Wednesday before they embark on the buoyant journey to professional employment.
 
But this is not a time to feel pity for them, as this exposition should provide concrete proof that they‘re quite ready for it. Collège Ahuntsic has a reputation for passing along the most relevant skills to its graduates so that that their careers won’t have to end up with them hating what they once thought was their passion.
 
Ironically, the theme that has been devised by the finalists somewhat reflects this cruel reality. A series of characters donning professional attire find themselves in really uncomfortable situations: the nurse, the judge and the part-time Santa Claus all seem to be dealing with a great amount of distress (whether or not it is due to their job, their facial expressions convey terror of some kind). Their work is unpretentious in its depiction of what all of us feel might just happen once we find ourselves in that grown-up garb.
