Solution
Yes, I have experienced it. Our school organised a farewell party for us, X STD students. At that moment, I felt both nostalgic and sad. I was happy because, finally, the day had come when I completed my 12 years at the same school with my close friends. I was sad, too, because I had to leave behind this wonderful place and people.
