You know, they say college graduates have it all figured out. You spend four years learning the ins and outs of your chosen field, accumulating knowledge, debt, and probably a few extra pounds from all that stress eating. But the real magic happens when you throw that graduation cap in the air. It's like a magic trick, but instead of a rabbit, you pull out a shiny degree that's supposed to open doors. And what does it open? The door to your parents' basement because, let's face it, that's where most of us end up.
You're armed with a degree, ready to conquer the world, but the world hands you an entry-level job that requires five years of experience. I mean, do they expect us to time travel during summer break?
And then there's the irony of student loans. You're drowning in debt, and what's your reward for surviving academia? A monthly reminder that Sallie Mae wants her money back. It's like they're saying, "Congratulations! Here's your bill for those good times you had in the library."
So, to all the college graduates out there, remember, your degree is like a fancy key to a door that leads to more doors. But hey, at least you're educated enough to appreciate the absurdity of it all.

Let's talk about graduation gowns. They make you wear this shapeless, oversized garbage bag, and suddenly, you're supposed to feel accomplished. It's like the fashion industry's way of saying, "You've peaked, buddy." And don't even get me started on the cap. That square piece of cardboard held onto your head by a thin elastic string. It's a fashion statement if your statement is, "I give up on looking good."
You spend years studying, sacrificing sleep, and surviving on instant noodles, only to look like a medieval wizard on the big day. I mean, if I wanted to dress like Dumbledore, I would've taken up magic, not marketing.
The graduation gown is like a metaphor for life after college. It's awkward, uncomfortable, and makes you question all your life choices. But hey, at least you can sneak snacks under that voluminous robe. Silver lining, right?
So, here's to the graduates who walked across the stage in a glorified trash bag, proving that you can succeed in style, even if that style is "I woke up like this.

You know, every graduation ceremony has that one person who's invited to give the commencement speech. They're supposed to inspire us, impart wisdom, and send us off into the real world with a newfound sense of purpose. But let's be real, half the time, they're just there to collect an honorary degree and brag about it. And the advice they give? It's always something vague like, "Follow your dreams," or "The world is your oyster." Really? Because last time I checked, my student loans turned the world into a clam, and I'm still searching for that pearl of financial stability.
And let's not forget the obligatory quote from a historical figure. Because nothing says "ready for the real world" like a quote from someone who never had to deal with LinkedIn job postings.
So, to all the commencement speakers out there, next time, just give us a cheat code for adulting. We don't need metaphors; we need a step-by-step guide on how to adult without constantly Googling, "Can you put ramen in the dishwasher?

They say college prepares you for the real world. Well, let me tell you, the real world is nothing like the brochures. It's less "opportunities for growth" and more "how to survive without calling your mom every day." Adulting is a myth they sell you along with that overpriced diploma. You're supposed to have it all figured out: job, house, family. But in reality, you're still trying to understand the difference between a 401(k) and a Roth IRA.
And don't even get me started on taxes. They don't teach you that in college. Instead, they give you a degree and send you off into the world, expecting you to know how to fill out a W-4 form. It's like handing someone a pilot's license and saying, "Good luck, the plane's in the parking lot."
So, to all the college graduates out there entering the so-called real world, just remember, adulting is just a fancy word for pretending you know what you're doing while secretly wondering when someone's going to realize you're just making it up as you go along. Cheers to faking it till we make it!
