Well, it is for me, anyway, and it will be soon for everyone else, so I thought I'd make a thread.

Pretty happy with this semester. Only regret is not getting my psych term paper in on time, but even without it, I'm getting a C (would have otherwise likely been an A). Otherwise, everything turned out pretty well. I'll be searching for jobs now and I'll get my Bachelor's slowly if I can find one. If not, I'll have the summer off from school for a change, and I have an idea of where I can go and what I can do to finish up my degree all at once.


So how about everyone else? Any success stories or plans you guys want to share?

Almost out. just 8 more school days. ALMOST OUT JUST 8 MORE. Must survive the 3 tests I must take for certifications and because one of the teachers is a bitch. but otherwise I am HOME FREE!

Lets see finished my last Undergrad final this morning and totally nailed it. Then I came home and earlier this afternoon got an E-mail from the grad school I had applied to basically saying "Congratulations. We'll be sending you the offer letter soon." Which I interpret as "We totally just accepted you into graduate school." So my day has been about as insanely good as possible.

Man, you guys and your awesomeness with school. I'm failing all of my classes (I'm TERRIBLE with foreign languages already, and trying to learn two at once was a mistake), and the only reason I haven't dropped them yet is I won't have a place to live until mid-June, which is the cut-off point for getting a W on the transcript instead of failing.

I've been finished since May 1st, but I have to wait until June 6th to find out if I graduate summa or magna. Damn the waiting!

I got two days left. Fortunately, I have passed all the final tests, and there is virtually nothing graded left.

Almost there. Just got to fight off the last English assignments and then it is all over.

I ended up burning myself out this semester. I thought I could handle 17+ credit hours of classes while working two jobs. The D and F I received in my Modern Physics and Calculus 3 classes respectively have told me otherwise. This semester's GPA was a whopping 1.47...but at least my cumulative is a 2.9.

I'm taking this as a sign that I need to watch how much I take on, change my major plans (Physics to either Biology, Geology or Chemistry), and also learn to relax and study better. Really need to learn that last one.

Man it's awesome when all the undergrads are gone cause there are no lines outside any of the foot places and I can stalk the halls without trampling people.

But won't you starve without all those undergrads to snap up and eat? Pretty sure you're gonna need another way to find prey.

Unfortunately, I'm not back into school yet. I'm gonna spend this summer looking for ways to get into a community college for cheap so that I can put my loans back into deferment and get my GPA up so I can transfer into a four year institution. And also get my credits from my freshman year of school transferred in.

My freshman year is almost over! I might actually end the year with all A's again.

I'm waiting to graduate so I can proudly wave my BA/Hon. English & Philosophy in everyone's faces, and then for September to start so I can get my B.Ed.

For all my fellow Canadians out there, Rick Mercer is gonna be the guest speaker at convocation. Jealous? :D

I pulled all A's and one B+ at UNI this last semester. Did alright on my two trombone juries. Aced my sightsinging final, AND my Music Theory IV final. Got accepted into the Jazz Education program, and am now in the process of practicing my ass off in order to make the top Jazz Band next year.

My college let out about two weeks ago. Man I don't even know what happened to them. But yeah, job hunting. Grades not so great, should probably start turning in work. Didn't fail anything but I got a D in a freshman level history course.

Officially finished with high school.

In fall I start at university, engineering program. I have a 4 1/2 year plan for a dual major in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

It's been about month or something since I get out of high school though there's going to be graduation on 5th June. Before that day I've two entrance tests coming on my way and one coming after my graduation party. I'll see if I get in somewhere.
And on 12th July my civil service starts, so I have quite short holiday, fuck that.

And I've been lucky bastard as I've summer job, which is going to stop day before my graduation! Money! Shiny! Non-green greenbacks!

And I have no idea where to spend it (music), but I'm not going to give you any, suckers!

Ugh, this once again reminds me that I go to school, essentially, year round. Mechanical engineering, too, which means I'm basically a vegetable when I'm done with a quarter (Drexel's weird, don't ask). And then of course I'm back to school after a week. Woo!

Although I'm working for 6 months (2 quarters) out of a year until my senior year (Where I go for a full year of classes), so... yay? Ok, yeah, Drexel sucks and I like complaining, let's just leave it at that.

Too stringy. The only good eats is honours students.

I've still got a few months to go. However, I totally passed my PN Assessment Exam an hour ago, so that's pretty exciting.

But... if you eat all the smart ones... the dumb ones will survive long enough to reproduce...

Natural selection's a crock of shit.

Well, I graduated High School in 2004, and finished my Bachelor's in 2008.

Now I am taking my time and going to a local tech school to fill in some blanks left by my uncaring and overly apathetic university education.

Just got my A+ and Network+ certifications, and am looking at maybe one more semester.

Just found out that despite my really horrible grades toward the beginning of my Undergrad career I am going to graduate Cum Laude. I won't actually be getting the stupid special tassel because my GPA was .01 below the cut off in February but it will be on my degrees.

I graduated on May 7th, took my last final on May 5th. Been done with school for a while. Didn't graduate Cum Laude or anything like that, BUT! I did get into graduate school cause I got a kickass (for the graduate school I applied to) GMAT score. So they were like "you know, this kid with shitty grades all through college, and then two glorious semesters on his final year? Yea, lets let him in cause of his ESPECIALLY glorious final semester and GMAT score. Yea...thats what we're gonna do."

As for summer jobs, I'm still looking. God I want one. So bad.
