Revisiting your old university campus after you've graduated feels awful lot like going back to an open -world video game after you've already beaten the main story and completed all side quests.

I finished my undergrad about four years ago and am currently working on my doctorate in the east coast. Anyways, about a week ago, I flew back home to CA for few days and decided to revisit my university campus. It was nice and nostalgic but at the same time, it just didn't feel all great as I thought it would. Then just now, it occurred to me that it felt awful similar to trying to replay an open-world game where you've basically beaten all the quests and all your essential NPCs are gone and disappeared... All that remains is just a pretty scenery. Guess doing your post-grad degree is like an expensive DLC...
