When you finally graduate Uni, it'll be one of the toughest stages in life - you just started feeling settled in, like you were BFFs with your lecturers and you'd nailed that perfect balance of energy drinks to chug down at crunch time, and now your classes are over?

Thanks to our friends at Bor & Reid, we've broken down the five stages of grief you're gonna go through when you realize your Uni classes are dunzo.

When you graduate uni, it's so tempting just to kick back, load up Netflix, and start stocking up on junk food so you can hibernate for the winter.

But if you don't apply for cool jobs, that guy in class who thought he was Liz Lemon is gonna get em instead. Let's be real though, when you have to pick between reformatting your CV and kickin back in bed with a full block of chocolate, the chocolate's gonna win every time.

It used to be so easy. You'd just grab a smoothie before class or go out for Indian after you'd sleepwalked your way through presentation day. But now if you wanna hang out with your uni buds, you actually have to.... call them? And organise it on a "schedule"? Whose idea was this?

In uni you were probably already living the povo life, eating noodles for dinner every night and taking every free meal you could get from your friends and parents. But now that you've got that student debt to deal with, you have to really start eating cheap. It might be plain rice every night for dinner for a couple months 😰 😰

Oh yeah, not having any more assessments due is SO depressing. It's gonna be SO HARD for you to not have that stress in your life any more. How will you EVER manage never needing to rush a PDF through Turnitin and spending dozens of hours slaving over an assessment just for a passing grade every again. You're going to be SO depressed you won't have any idea how to handle it.
