Spoilers. Once you completed your actual last exam. Like ever. Shit gets bad real fast. Welcome to the corporate hellhole of having a fulltime job.

Yeah... "buddy, you have no idea what's waiting for you out there ๐Ÿ˜’" was my first thought.

I'm glad school's over... but then at least school was meant to have an ending, unlike this grind.

Nope. I still would not want to go back to school. Ever! Fuck exams! Fuck school!

Haha that was my first thought as well. Still it's a fine achievement on its own for OP.

When I've done my last exam I get to grade exams for the rest of my life lol. I love teaching though but grading isn't the most exciting part

Jokes on you. I got both going on for me. Not a fun time.

[โ€“] MBZzZzZzZz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Lol. My last exams were over ten years ago, and this morning I woke up after dreaming I had been late to an exam I hadn't studied for. I have that dream at least once a month, still.

Nothing beats that feeling of finishing that final exam and walking out of the school. To only get slapped with a fat D a couple weeks later

[โ€“] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

To be fair, some people enjoy getting a D.

I remember the moment I put down the pen and thought: that's it! Last exam ever! Never going back to university after that, it's finally over!

That was 15 years ago and I still relish that moment.

My last test qualified me for my current job. My next one will be at a time and place of my choosing. Adulting is not the same as this meme. I am required to learn and almost immediately apply new shit almost every day, and it's pretty great. Life is the exam. It's pass/fail, and when you stop learning new things you might as well be dead.
