transitional graduation effect

A phenomenon where graduations from middle school, high school, and college feel particularly significant as they mark the transition into new life phases. In contrast, kindergarten and primary school graduations are perceived as less impactful, akin to how 2 A.M. is seen as just "in the middle of the night", representing a continuation of childhood rather than a major life milestone.

The transitional graduation effect is clear when you see how excited students are for high school and college ceremonies, while kindergarten graduations feel more like just another step in their childhood journey.

Graduation

Is when you are done with your school and go on to pursue life. This is also the time when you realize how far you have come and sometimes cried looking back to your past, to your best of friends, and to your crush. Graduation hit hard, really hard if you have a lot of friends and memorable teachers. I miss my friends

Tony: I fucking hate graduation
John: Why?
Tony: I will never have the chance to meet you guys again in the future

Honors PE graduate

Alumni of the Honors PE course. After they have completed Honors PE, they are likely to continue their training at gyms such as Planet Fitness. It is their life’s goal to go to gym everyday. If seen by the normal eye they may be described as “odd” or “weird”, but to the eyes of the gods, they have the embodiment of Sisyphus. Some alumni train for different reasons. Some train for inter-galactic olympics, some just for fun, and others to stop catastrophic events

“Why is that guy using a bowling ball as a kickball?”

“Dunno, must be an Honors PE graduate”

The Graduation Effect

The phenomenon in which an old piece of media is constantly brought up in defense of a washed up artist, only for that old piece of media to be nothing special. Famous examples include statements such as: "But Kanye made Graduation" or: "But M. Night Shyamalan made The Sixth Sense."

Dude, that album wasn't that great. You're just falling for The Graduation Effect.
