Everything seniors are tired of hearing

Stop asking what my post-grad plans are

Senior year is full of fun as well as fear.  It’s the last hoorah and time to figure out what the hell you’re going to do when you graduate.  But if trying to graduate with good grades and put out tons of applications for jobs wasn’t bad enough, you’ve got people breathing down your neck about your plans (yes, mom I’m talking about you).

‘Have you started applying for jobs?’

Can’t we worry about the fact that my last football season as a student is over first people?  I mean seriously, we’re all going to miss those discounted tickets.  But yes, we have thank you.

‘What about grad school?’

It’s not for everyone.  Good for you if you’re doing a grad program and good for you if you’re not!

 ‘Have you updated your resume?’

I’ve been building my resume for the past four years and it’s honestly a pain to keep updating it every single year.  Best advice I can give is to just make a brand new one and save yourself the nightmare of screwing up the margins and format.

‘What’s your GPA?’

It’s good enough to keep the discount on car insurance and honestly that’s all I’m worried about.

‘Have you started looking for apartments?’

Maybe… or maybe I’m just hoping I can couch surf for a bit?

‘Stay in school, it’s all downhill from here.’

If only doing that didn’t cost me upwards of $20k every year.

‘Do you have a job lined up yet?’

I’m barely surviving my last semester, let alone doing well enough to have something lined up.  The only steady thing I’m confident in is my Netflix watch list.

‘Are you networking at career fairs?’

I’m attending and doing the mock interviews, but networking? Isn’t that what my LinkedIn profile is for?

‘Are you seeing someone yet?’

No, grandma, I am not.

‘Where do you want to live after graduation?’

Anywhere but my parents basement.

‘You should probably stop going out so much…’

And do what? Study? Senioritis has been here since August and it’s not going anywhere any time soon.

The list goes on and on, but these are by far the ones that get on our nerves the most.  We love you family, but please stop asking these questions.
