I finished my undergraduate studies a couple of weeks ago and, like most recent grads, I have a lot of mixed feelings about what it all means. I love the fact that I'm a college graduate and the fact that I won't ever take another final or do another homework assignment, but I hate that I'm in colossally-sized debt and that I now have to struggle to find a decent job in my field of study. I'm bitter about the debt, but happy that I'm done. And I'm happy that I'm done, but I'm bummed that I have to be a real, live adult now.
So, here are 15 gifs to show how it really feels to graduate college:
1. When you turn in your final assignment ever:
2. When you take your last final ever:
3. When you realize you finally have some free time:
4. When you realize you don't know what to do with said free time:
5. When you try to fill said free time:
6. When you get your loan exit counseling package:
7. When you get rejection emails from two jobs in one day:
8. When you remember you don't have to take out anymore student loans:
9. When you get a B in a core class, even after failing the final:
10. When you realize you start ignoring emails from your university:
11. When you get an alumni association email asking you to donate money to the school:
12. When you realize you have to be a real adult now:
13. When you realize your student debt is going to follow you around for at least ten years:
14. When someone says, "Oh, you majored in that?"
15. When your college sends you information for graduate school:
So long, college. I hope to never, ever see you again.
