Twitter Users Offer #GraduationAdviceIn3Words

Graduation season is over. Classroom doors are closed (at least for now). Textbooks are put away for such a time as to not appear in the future. Commencement speeches, however interesting or intriguing they were, have probably been forgotten. Official diplomas have yet to arrive, but … we can wait on that.

The past several years have been full of advice-giving from teachers, coaches, mentors, parents, and yes, even commencement speakers. But it wouldn’t hurt to hear a little more, from an unlikely source — Twitter. The #GraduationAdviceIn3Words hashtag was trending over the past few days and it was filled with some good (and some not so good) advice for new graduates.

You may now flip your tassels (er, screens):

 Isn’t this what all commencement speakers say in so few words? Everyone wants to inspire, right?

 Yup, this one is all on you!

Exiting from the rigors of classwork doesn’t give you permission to stop learning, or growing, for that matter. 

 Probably.

 True … but so cliche.

 We get the point!

 Because unless you’ve inherited riches, you won’t make it without one.

Seriously!?!

 College should have taught you a little endurance; if it didn’t, life will.

 Please. Please. Please. Your mother would be so proud.

 So, I’ve done all that work for really nothing?

 That’s about what it adds up to.

 I’m so feeling this one.

 You needed it then and you’re certainly going to need it now.

 Don’t be surprised. You knew this was coming all along.

 A good nugget of wisdom, right? No. We can’t survive without them. 

 Wait. Are you voting? For who?

 Yeah, maybe, but for heaven’s sake, please don’t stay there. That’s like reverse adulting. 

 So is Google, Apple, Microsoft, IBM, and Uncle Sam. 

 You only get one — so, you know. 

If you find something you really love, you won’t have to.

As if you haven’t faced enough already.

Go ahead, you know you want to.

 Can we just all eat ice cream and watch movies until 4:00 a.m.?

 As opposed to letting other people choose it for you, or worse, not choose for you.

The latter will get you attention, the former will get you some R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Duh, didn’t someone teach you that? 

Obviously.

 Well, so is the general election, next year’s tax season, the end of the world, and next month’s electricity bill.

Is there such a thing as childing? Just saying. 

 Always.

Just one more prick in the human bubble.
