10 Questions Every Rising College Senior Could Not Want To Hear Less
KnowYourMeme

I am about to start my last year of college, and getting asked annoying college-related questions is something I'm no stranger too.

However, as a rising senior, there are some questions that are particularly annoying to hear. Here are a couple of them:

1. "So you're basically just coasting at this point, right?"

You’re crazy if you think I’m gonna coast through a $60,000 a year investment.

2. "How proud are your parents?"

Ask me again when I move out of their house and I get a job that pays enough for me to pay them back.

3. "Can you believe that you're graduating already?

No I can’t, and as much as I complain about how stressful college is I really don’t want to be reminded every five minutes that’ll be leaving the home I’ve had for 4 years.

4. "Did you enjoy your time in college?"

1. It's not done yet, 2. do you really care?

5. "Are you exciting to finally go of into the real world?"

Am excited to enter one of the most competitive job markets in history in a terrible economy with thousands of dollars in student loans? Thrilled.

6. "Are you going to move back home after college or get your own place?"

I don't know.

7. "Are you going to grad school?"

I don't know.

8. "What job do you want after college?"

I DON’T KNOW! I know I should know these things by now but I don’t and constantly being asked is annoying as hell doesn't help me figure it out.

9. "What's your major?"

If you don't know by now, its too late to ask.

And last but not least,

10. "What are you going to do with that?"

When I finally get my diploma, I’m gonna beat you with it for asking me that question.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
