Joe Effect

When a person has all the bad luck in the world and can’t ever catch a break. To have everything that happens in your life never go in your favor. Basically the worst luck in the world.

Joe: “Bro, I got a red light ticket for $250 even though I was stopped the whole time.”
Trevor: “That my friend is the Joe Effect!”

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.
