16 Things Final Year Students Are Sick Of Hearing

It's your final year. You are stressed. You are out of your depth. There are many, many things you do not want to hear. But, no matter how many filthy looks you give people, they will keep on asking and telling you the following things. It's bad enough that you have a thesis to finish and a constant worry of what you are going to do next. Just tell these haters to be gone and ignore all they have to say. But, if they are in fact your friends or parents, just smile and take it, and let out your anger with are list of 16 Things Final Year Students Are Sick Of Hearing.

1) "Ohh how's your final year going?" (condescending tone)

It's going grand. No need for that domineering look and fake sympathy. Get away.

2) "Make the most of college life while you still can?"

Well, I can't go out because I have to study. My life is ruined by these long hours in the library. So, my response to you would be, "what college life?."

3) "What are you doing next year?"

I really don't have time to be thinking about this. My 8,000 word essay is really not going to write itself. You can leave alone now.

4) "You gonna do a masters?"

If you say "no" you will have to explain why. And, if you say "yes" you will have to explain why. It is a lose-lose situation.

5) "You'll be fine!"

Sometimes when you are freaking out and someone is there to tell you it will all be fine, it is helpful. Other times you want to punch that enthusiastic scholar in the face.

6) "Ohh you're taking a year out. Are you sure you want to do that?"

If I want to take a year out I will. It is none of your business. But, thank you for your concern.

7) "Why aren't you studying?"

This will be usually said by a parent or one of your friends who thinks they are helping when they are in fact not. I know what I have and haven't studied. I don't need you nagging me.

8) "You up for going out tonight?"

This can brighten up your day or effectively ruin it. And, if it is a weekend that your friends know you cannot possibly go out, it is annoying and frustrating. Warning: You may loose the will to live.

9) "How much of your thesis/final project have you done?"

Just go away, please.

10) "The final year project is due a week later. Did I not tell you?"

You didn't tell me and now I hate you.

11) "You should start a blog?"

Do I look like I have time to start a blog? Do I look like I want to start a blog? Your idea is stupid.

12) "Have you checked your credits/graduation requirements?"

Of course I have. You asking me this every time you see me is not necessary.

13) "When is the last time you were in the careers office?"

Again, this is said by a parent or an annoying friend. Get out of my face, please. You are stressing me out.

14) "Have you started applying for jobs yet?"

Ahhhhhhhhhh, piss off will ya.

15) "What you do now will stay with you for life?"

This could involve your promiscuous attitude or the fact you aren't studying as much as you should be. Either or, please stop talking to me.

16) "I hear you are going away this summer. Are you sure this is the best thing to do? You sure you don't want to do an internship?"

Jesus Christ! You really need to mind your own business. The only thing getting me through this is knowing I'll be away this summer.
