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.

post-graduation blues

Commonly known as post-grad depression, this feeling consists of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, or emptiness experienced by recent graduates due to the significant life changes and pressures of entering adulthood and the workforce.

After the excitement of graduation wore off, I found myself hit hard by post-graduation blues, feeling lost and anxious about what to do next in life.

Google Graduate

Any person of any gender or race with or without any formal education who relies solely upon Google to provide them with every bit of knowledge they have and even goes as far as to insult others who have themselves a smartphone but ask others what something or or what something means. These same people will use their superior knowledge in which Google has bestowed them with to boast a about themselves all about a lifestyle they promote and will even mock college educated individuals on topics that those individuals went to college for simply because they know more than them based on what Google told them.

Man, you sure gotta love them Google graduates. They sure think they know everything simply because they can type it in on their phone and look it up. Maybe if that was the case trans-women would know more about Klinefelter's Syndrome and would no who they really are.
