Congrats! It’s scary, but this is when you finally have the freedom to live your unique life. Stay in touch with your close friends, everyone else will fade away. And remember, wear sunscreen.

Yeah no one told me the hard part was getting friends
Seriously. I was young and thought I was invincible.
Now 5x suspicious mole removals later (no cancer, yet) I regret going shirtless so much.
You reading the latest on US vs. foreign sunscreen?

When I graduated, I had no clue what I was going to do with my life. Still don’t. It’s been 15 years.
I’m not sure how I feel.
same here, no ambitions or anything.
I had the same problem and spent 15 years in shitty customer service jobs before quitting and going to trade school.
It’s worked out really well.
I ended up joining the trades. It wasn’t fun but I got to a position I can tolerate.
"Here we stand, on the precipice of the unknown. As we all prepare to cross the Rubicon from school responsibilities to taxes and jobs, one thing holds true. We must be the best. Thousands of ancestors put us here to make the world better for the next generation, every time. And while some may have forgotten that, it comes down to each of us to take the wheel at some point and make the same hard decisions, even when they dress up as different problems. For this next graduating class, make the most. Shape it to be the Better Place you want to see.
now go make money!!!
Forrreeeevvvvveerrrr
And no summer breaks or whatever. :(
Well retirement if lucky
Most of us don’t get summers off 😔
Yeah my last day was beautiful for about 4 hours. Then i had to start working.
We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.
“Senioritis” usually describes people who have checked out because they have a short amount of time left and have already received college admissions, so their grades don’t matter much.
That’s never been what serioritis is …lol Are you from the South? Tell me more about the war of “Northern aggression” 😂
I hate southerners and am from a proud Union state. What the hell are you talking about?
He’s joking bc senioritis usually refers to when people lose the will to work as hard (usually because they’ve already been accepted by either a job or a college). I assume the other part was about how southerners pussyfoot around the civil war instead of calling it what it is. I really don’t know where the vitriol came from tho.
You can always take more courses
Worst part is is still dream about it. Hate it so much. When will this ghost leave!?
traumatizing people as kids to be productive members of the capitalist system
Way into my thirties, I’m still dreaming about school many nights.
I hate it. I asked a senior once, he’s like yeah still happening. I’m like f^$#@! The trauma never ends.
For me it’s less often, but otherwise same.
Lol sad
“oh fuck theres that class ive been avoiding all semester and totally forgot about and now I need to turn in my paper and take my final but I can’t find my car!”
The fact that this is universal trauma truly shows how unnatural we approach education. We need a better way.
Right, I graduated college 10 years ago, oh god its been 10 years
I’m in my 40s and I still regularly have dreams that I somehow didn’t really graduate high school.
In my fifties and still have that dream, but it’s worse.
I went to boarding school, so my dreams involve fifty something year old me having to go back to live in the dorm with a bunch of kids.
School might be over, but your education never stops.
When I graduated highschool, we didn’t have the resources we have today. You can freely learn a language anytime you want. Find out interesting maths they didn’t teach you in school, details about the world you live in you might not know (architecture, history, of just why things are one way in one nation vs another).
There are so many fantastic YouTube channels. Here’s a list of channel I’ve subscribed to that I think are with it. There a few programming ones in there too. And this doesn’t even cover the channels that showed me how to repair my AC unit, or how to repair my washing machine.
If this lost is to long, than 3 channels I recommend highest is Tom Scott, SmarterEveryDay, and Steve Mould.

Crash Course too!

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBDA2E52FB1EF80C9 - Crash Course World History was one of my favourites.

I’ll add ‘Connections’ an old BBC series covering the history of technology. The creator shows how one change in one place can affect the world. For instance, Napoleon’s armies needed to be fed on the march and eventually we got modern food processing.
I also want to add Branch Education. They explain(in detail) how computers work: piped.video/channel/UCdp4_l1vPmpN-gDbUwhaRUQ

welcome to the rest of your life. Find something you’re good at (liking what you’re doing is optional) and figure out how to get paid while doing it.
Enjoy freedom! Keep in touch with your friends, if you had any/liked them.
If you’re American, one cool thing about being an adult is that you can decide to go back to school basically whenever you want. Community colleges are great for that.
I’m not sure how that works in other countries though, so YMMV.
One of my favourite part of trades apprenticeships is going back to school every now and then
