    Default Class of 2011!

    Alright, we're heading into the second week of April, and I know I'm not the only one here who's graduating this spring!

    Who's graduating?? What's your major, or are you graduating middle or high school (you youngins)? What are your post grad plans??

    I'm getting my BS in Management with a concentration in HR (yay for specialization), and have a math minor. I plan on going to grad school starting in January, because I just don't have the time to deal with graduate school applications and process right now! I need time AFTER school to study for my GMAT. I also need time to rage, celebrate, have a big milestone coming up (25! ), and I really want to get an internship before I go to grad school and pursue a career I might hate.

    Even though I finish my degree in 5 weeks time, I don't graduate til November. It sucks. Major. Balls.

    I'm getting a BA (Hons) in Music with Instrumental or Vocal Teaching. Major and minor.

    My plans for postgrad changed dramatically this week. I was gonna take a gap year, earn some money and come back and do a Masters in Choral Studies. But I found out that in 2012, my fees are likely to go up to Ł12,000 (this academic year they're Ł4000, in September it'll be Ł7,500). The reason this is a huge issue is the fact that the course might not run this year. It needs 3 people, until this week I was the only one. Now we have 2. I'm willing to find Ł7,500 for my MA, but not Ł12,000.

    Graduation costs SO much. It'll be good though. I want my hood!

    I graduated 4 months ago and have yet to find a (real) job. there is literally one job posted within 30 miles of me in my field listed as "entry-level" on monster, careerbuilder, etc. and their phone number has been disconnected and their building is vacant. god knows how they posted a job on monster.

    fuck this economy. AT LEAST I HAVE AN AWESOME $45,000 PIECE OF PAPER! that is still in the tube. I need to get a frame.

    e: what I mean to say is fuck you class of 11, 10s get seniority on jobs so wait your turn.

    I sure as hell hope the world doesn't end in 2012, since I won't be able to graduate :O:

    2011 all the way. Finally graduating high school and have been accepted into one of my first choice colleges where I plan to study Comp. Sci (hon.) and some other stuff. I also lucked into a sweet housing deal with one of my friends which is more like a hotel than a dorm, so we'll see how that all plays out. And hopefully this summer I'll be able to go to a special summer project thing in Cali, but I gotta apply first.



    I hate applications.

    Congratulations, Baz! I graduated my BA in Political Science/Media in July last year. I was unemployed until January, and now have a full time job which I am growing ever more apathetic about and am also an editor/writer of a new magazine for the city.

    I am pondering more and more about going to uni, for I feel I can achieve far more. If I were to do so, I definitely need to have a part time job this time as having no money once again is simply something I wish not to experience. Perhaps I should do a post grad in counselling or something? I don't know. I wish I was more concrete about my future/career, but then again I am only 22 and they say that people on average now change their career 4 times.

    Graduating this year! Ahhh, it's kinda terrifying! I'm handing my last piece of work in in 18 days and I'm graduating near the end of July. It's creeping up on me, lol. Getting a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing / Classical Civilizations (double major).

    I'm SUPPOSED to be doing the MA in Historical Research (Classical Pathway). I've spoken to all the lecturers and I'll basically waltz on to the course but I'm still waiting on a reference. My uni doesn't seem to have a deadline but I'd really appreciate having everything taken care of by May.
    WANTED:

    One signature.
    Experience preferred although training will be provided.
    Witty slogans only, please.

    Graduating this year! Getting my Honours BA in English Language and Literature with a minor in Creative Writing. Egads. I'll be pursuing a one-year terminal MA in the fall and then perhaps do a post-grad after that iiin... Publishing? Technical Writing? Copywriting? Yeah, not sure. I'm just interested in sheltering myself from the Real World as long as possible. Also, I'm leaving the door to a PhD program open at the moment; however, since I would like to one day find, y'know, a full-time job, it's almost certainly a bad idea.

    Ahhh, getting old.

    Yay for the 5+ year plan club!

    I turn 27 this year and am currently out of school. When I start making enough money to go back, I plan to do so.

    I was initially supposed be class of 11, but I have one more semester actually. Stupid class not offered in the spring... I'm kinda half happy though, I really like it here, not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to college life.

    I..well, haven't graduated, but I did just finish my final semester of my PhD coursework! It's exciting to think that I don't have any more graduate classes, but I'm sure I'll miss them after awhile. Good experiences. I went straight from my B.A. to M.A. with the intention of getting a Ph.D., and upon acceptance, I haven't looked back.

    I'm looking forward to taking a little time off from doing research this summer, although I want to at least work on a couple of projects.

    On to the dissertation, though....yikes! Congrats to everyone who is graduating though, you should all celebrate!

    I just realized the other day my mom is graduating Oregon State this semester, so she's Class of 2011. Dual Bachelor's in Environmental Science and a Minor in Chemistry. Pretty cool shiz.
