Limbo; purgatory; a place where you waste the best years of your life apprenticing for the PhD guild.
THE BAD:
- endless homework
- potentially asshole professors
- little social life
- boring repetitive classes
- dull TA work
- shit pay
- you might end up in the middle of nowhere
- constant moving massacres relationships. Remember the girlfriend who left you because she couldn't take the long-distance relationship? Your friends? The family you see for 2 weeks per year? Better forget them... Easier that way.
- having to teach obscenely hot 18 year olds without being able to touch them
- leads to frigidity and involuntary abstinence
- it's 4am. You went to class between 9 and 12. You ate pretzels for lunch, then you graded for 4 hours. Then you wrote homework. Now your eyes are bleeding and you have the urge to cut.
- once (if) you graduate, you have to move again, in order go to post-doc, which is the same as grad school except you get a few bucks more and you write fewer pages of homework
- incipient alcoholism
THE GOOD:
- incipient alcoholism
- easy ticket to the first world for talented third worlders
- easy ticket to a big city if you luck out
- you can really slack away if you play your cards right
- 3+ months of vacation
- sort of intellectual
- beats the fucking 9 to 5. You're making 40K working 40 hours a week with 2 weeks vacation? In grad school people can make ~20K with ~10 hours of work per week and 3 months vacation. You do the math.

I decided to go to grad school... Sure, I don't have a girlfriend... Or a car... And my friends from my old city have all but forgotten me... And I write 40 pages of homework per week... And the hot students I teach are driving me insane... And the old professor fucks are raping me at every opportunity... And I'm on a first name basis with the liquor store owner... But goddamn, at least I'm not in the 9 to 5! Yesterday, Wednesday the 12th, I slept until 1pm and then I watched 3 movies, played games for 4 hours, and drank 14 beers. Tomorrow, on Friday, I'll do the same. In a month it'll be summer again and I'll fly home to see my friends and get a nice tan... I used to think about graduation, but that was 2 years ago.
Yeah...
Yeah...

Get the grad school mug.To normal people: High School, contrary to what most people will tell you, is the definite worst years of your life (that is unless you are a douchebag/faggot, because if you are one of those you'll THRIVE in this place like shit thrives in High School toilets). When you finally go to college and you look back on your high school years, you'll see what a pathethic joke of an establishment (insert high school name here) was, and will feel an incredible freedom being let out.
To male high school 14/15 year old faggots with fake self confidence and gay smiles and heavy 0.2 pound "muscles or guns"/females who think they are the bitchin' hoe on the block and act like little prada queens:
High School is the most fun you'll ever have in your fake ass american-dream/i'm a pretend nobody lives, you assholes. Enjoy it while it lasts.

You literally cannot find a place in America that has more fake people (that are 99% of the time also incredible asswipes, administration included) in it than a high school. You just can't.

Get the school buddies mug.A shitty place where teenage sub-culture drives you insane and teachers give you lots of work to do.
"Charlyne is such a prep. Oh my gosh, I can't stand those preppy little fuckers."
"I wish I was fucking popular...if only I could be like the cool kids."
"Those damn goth kids are so fuckin scary"
"I'm such a punk...Abercrombie and Fitch is so fucked."
"Let's go get wasted man! Fuck yeah!!!!!"

2. The transitional period where you discover your status among your peers.
3. The breeder for goths, emos, preps, nerds, jocks, posers, wiggers, and etc.

Get the middle school mug.The worst and shittiest part of a school career. You think you'e the best, but you're only a pile of shit once you realize what's going on. Oh yeah, it's also the first place you discover something called puberty.
