you know you are out of college when…

Filed under: Thoughts — Ankur Aggarwal @ 8:55 pm

1. Your salary is less than your tuition.
2. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
3. You have to pay your own credit card bill.
4. Mac & Cheese no longer counts as a well-balanced meal.
5. You haven’t seen a soap opera in over a year.
6. 8:00a.m. is not early.
7. You hear your favorite song on the elevator at work.
8. You carry an umbrella.
9. You learn that “Bachelor” is a nicer term for a jackass.
10. “Extended childhood” only really pertains to your salary, which is a little less than your allowance used to be.
11. “Twenty-something” means over-qualified, under-paid, and not married.
12. Your friends marry instead of hook-up, and divorce instead of break-up.
13. You start watching the weather channel.
14. Jeans and baseball caps aren’t staples in your wardrobe.
15. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7.
16. You go to parties that the police don’t raid.
17. You don’t know what time Wendy’s closes anymore.
18. You refer to college students as kids.

Don’t agree with #1 though. My salary is definitely much more than my tuition. Nice list overall.
