If you're currently in college then you probably often hear your parents say that college is easy compared to the "real world." While we'd have to agree that that is true, we do also understand how horrible it is to study for exams and do homework every day.
In summary, the grass is always greener on the other side.
Getting a college education in America can completely ruin a person financially, as times just aren't what they used to be when our Baby Boomer parents were our age. This Twitter thread is depressing as hell, but highlights the reality of being in an outrageous amount of student debt.
The solution to all of this? It may be time to encourage today's high school kids not to attend traditional college and go to trade school or community college instead!
Looking back at our pitiful lives, there are a few things we should have done differently. We would have dumped that toxic boyfriend in year one of our relationship instead of year three. Probably could have treated some people more nicely in school. But most of all, we wish we'd studied something a bit more lucrative. Studying constantly didn't appeal to us while we were in college, but all the science and engineering majors are now having the last laugh while we type our lives away in vain. These memes go out to the people that put in the effort and who are, hopefully, reaping their very deserved rewards.
If you're a college student then you're probably *this* close to finishing out the semester right before the holidays. It might seem really far away, but amidst the stress of studying for final exams, just keep in mind that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We believe in you.
As millennials on the older side of the generation, we were actually lucky to have experienced life before the internet was used for everything. It's definitely built character and probably lent us a little extra resourcefulness. Sometimes we feel like our grandparents talking about walking a mile in the snow to school when we talk about the days before smartphones, and this little text exchange between a post-millennial and an older, wiser person will show you exactly why.
College students who are reading this: wherever you're at in the school year - whether it's finals, midterms, or anything in between, we hope that these college-y memes find you well. And at the end of the day, just remember that nothing really matters anyway because you'll never find a job with that useless degree of yours!
Every college major has its fair share of stereotypes, and this Twitter meme perfectly and concisely highlights what the rest of us are thinking. We're mostly joking - we know that these aren't all completely true, but stereotypes often exist for a reason!
You damn lazy Millennials and your entitlement - you guys think you deserve an education that won't ruin you financially? Back in my day we paid very lit- oh wait, never mind...so you guys actually have it harder than us old people and you're not just lazy a-holes? Okay fine, but get the f*ck off my lawn and quit eating so much goddamn avocado toast.
