FAQs That Almost-College-Graduates Will Probably Hear And Their Answers
Flikcr|Ignacio Andrade

College graduations are quickly approaching. Now, some people have a pretty solid idea about what they're doing after graduation. Maybe they have a job lined up, maybe they're going to travel awhile, maybe they're continuing their studies at another university.

Other soon-to-be-college-graduates, however, are not so sure. For those people, myself included, there are some questions bound to come up either during weekend visits home, Spring Break, over phone calls, or even on graduation day itself.

So I have decided to help myself, other people in similar situations, and their family members out by asking and answering every question that might be asked this graduation season.

1. What are your plans after graduation?

I have no idea.

2. Are you going to continue with school?

I don't rightfully know. Probably not immediately.

3. Are you going to return home or stay in the city?

That's a really good question that I don't really know the answer to.

4. What jobs are you going to apply to?

I dunno; whichever ones I find.

5. What can you do with your degree?

I'm not entirely sure.

6. Do you know what career you want to pursue?

I have some ideas.

7. But you had all these years to figure something out?

Yeah, and you had all of these years to come up with more original questions so.

8. Do you at least know what you're doing immediately after graduation? Like, what are you doing the summer after you graduate?

I do not know.

9. Do you know anything?

Yes.

10. What?

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.


To summarize, we have no idea what we're doing after graduation. Please stop asking.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
