Current Events > Graduating college is weird

(+) Yeah! (+)

My whole life there's been a next grade or next school to coast into. Now I have to actually take initiative and find a place to live and work.

First world problems, put your big boy pants on

CE is filled with such negative fucking people lmao. Idk how you see this topic and read "woe is me". Go drink a glass of orange juice or something

Just don't get discouraged if you don't find a job right away. It's been a while, but the average when I got out of college was like 1 year or so. It took me like 7 months.

Yes it's pretty weird.

There are 2 moments like that in life, I think.

The first one is getting accepted into a good college: "yes! I made it! I am so elite! here's to a good life! yay!!" (INB4 stress, hard work, and learning you ain't shit)

Then it's graduating: It's the very same yes! I made it! I am so elite! here's to a good life! yay!!" (INB4 stress, hard work, and learning you ain't shit)

you trigger easy, maybe slow down on the oj

Completely agree with Aeriis. It took me 10 years to get my degree due to life. Now that I got it I'm like damn my life has reduced to working and sleeping. This is it for the next 20 years.

I try learning a new language as something to keep my brain active, but usually after work I don't want to do anything. There's life goals, but I already did what most them when I was younger.

My job isn't fulfilling in the slightest and I constantly think "damn is this it to life?"

Work sucks. Have fun with human politics.

I have very fond memories of Seattle when my family took a long roadtrip when I was a kid but who knows how different it is now. That was when Borders was still around. I think I may want to live in Washington state

It's even weirder when you realize you graduated college 10 years ago

anyway, congratulations

I've been out of college for 11+ years (undergrad), and I sometimes think about going back.

Yeah it took me a while to get a job, I never managed to get any internships in school. Even now I'm not really doing stuff super related to my degree, but it's a decent job regardless.

That's basically me right now. I'm almost done with my degree but I work full time and can only take 1 class a semester, plus the commute to college is 50 minutes 1-way. So it's literally just been work, school, sleep, repeat. I barely have time to do other stuff >_> But it definitely feels fulfilling to keep at it and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Anyways, congrats TC!

I kinda felt college, and HS before it, was a meritocracy. Study hard, be smart and you'll do well.

Real life has way too many factors that make it not a meritocracy, such as having the ability to be a good suck up

Congratulations and good luck!
