When you've reached your dreaded fourth year of college, you may start to consider the word "graduation" to be one that you avoid at all costs. Yet, people still continue to remind you that it's coming despite your requests to please avoid the subject. It's not happening, it's not real, and you simply don't want to talk about it. Here's 10 things that college seniors are sick of hearing and the responses they would LIKE to give when they do hear these things:
1. "Wow you're getting old, huh?"
Since when is 21 old?!
2. "What are your plans after graduation?"
Scramble to find any decent-paying job in my field to avoid having to move back home with my parents.
3. "Are you excited to graduate?"
Do I look excited?
4. "You better keep your grades up!"
Hahaha yeah...
5. "Oh my god, it's your last Homecoming/Halloween/etc!"
Did you think I wasn't aware of that? Thanks for reminding me!!!
6. "You want to live in New York City after graduation? That's really expensive..."
Hence why I'll be living in some hole in the wall apartment the size of a closet.
7. "One more year then you're financially cut off."
*cries*
8. "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
Well, ideally, rich with a great job, hot boyfriend and a cute dog. But we'll see.
9. "Do you have a job lined up for next year?"
If I did do you think I'd have these stress wrinkles coming in on my forehead?
10. "___ days until graduation!"
*cries again*
