If You Don't Have An Immediate Plan After College, You Are A Pathetic Loser Who Will Never Be Successful In Life

It's so sad, but so true.

If You Don't Have An Immediate Plan After College, You Are A Pathetic Loser Who Will Never Be Successful In Life

Everyone, it's all true. Your worst fears are about to be realized. Everything that every pessimistic jerk has told you for the past four years is actually a completely true fact. You didn't want to believe these things, but now you have no choice. Yep, it's all true. If you graduate college without a clearly laid out plan as to where your life will take you, then you are a sad, pathetic loser who will never amount to anything for as long as you live.

I know, I know. It may seem hard to take in, but now is the time to breathe it all in and come to the realization that unless your life is planned out perfectly from moment to moment for years and years after you graduate, then you have just wasted the past four years that you spent in college.

After all, college is by no means a time to explore your interests and expand your mind. Heck no, college is a time to gain the skills necessary for becoming a mindless drone in the corporate world. If you don't have some "real world" job lined up immediately after graduation, then congratulations on being a gigantic waste of space.

All of those obnoxious people telling you this all along were absolutely right, even if you would rather not admit it. Forget about enjoying the last days of your college career. Forget about the fact that even after you graduate, you still have the rest of your life to figure out exactly who you want to be and what you want to do. Stop thinking pointless thoughts, such as the idea that it's okay to not have a complete and definite post-graduation plan.$

You either have your life completely figured out after graduation, or you don't. But if you don't, then you never will. It's as simple as that. Don't listen to the people who will try and tell you that you're still young and you still have all the time in the world to forge your own path and try to make something of yourself. Don't listen to the people who tell you that having a college degree is a huge accomplishment in itself, no matter what the degree is in.

If they tell you that the degree will pay off eventually even if you don't have definite post-graduation plans, stop listening to them immediately. If you have any moment of post-college uncertainty, then make no mistake, your life is already over. Remember, the person that you are immediately after you graduate is the same person that you will be for the rest of your life. You have no more opportunities to change. College is your last chance to ever grow as a person, so if you are not the person that you were always meant to be as soon as you graduate, then sorry, but you're completely out of luck.

If you intend to graduate soon, be prepared. Your life will soon begin, for better or for worse. The world is a scary, horrible place that will you eat you alive, chew you up for a while, and then spit you back out, or at least whatever is left of you at that point. So you know, at least we all have that to one day look forward to.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
