Real-Life Avengers! After Graduation, Half Your Friends Will Disappear

April 29, 2019Uncategorizedavengers, endgame, Graduation, infinity gauntlet, infinity stones, infinity war, marvel, mcu, Senior Year, superheroes, thanosNooz Staff

If you have friends in the Class of 2019, you’re getting ready for the emotional transition from always spending time together to not seeing each other for a long, long time, if ever. Eventually, your memories of one another will begin to dissipate, like dust in the wind. It’ll be just like they vanished into the ether.

Sick!! Just like when Thanos used the infinity gauntlet!

You’re going to part—possibly forever—with people you care deeply about, whose lives have had a serious impact on your own. And… that’s SO DOPE. They’ll basically vanish into thin air. You’ll be like, “WHAT?! WHERE’D YOU GOOO?!” And then, the craziest part? They won’t answer! It’ll be like their lives were taken by the soul stone!

Who knows what it’s gonna be like when fifty percent of all your friends are gone? That’s probably going to leave a huge emotional hole in your psyche. Which is fucking BADASS—you’ll be like a real-life superhero! Talk about a nice, edgy backstory. What’s next? Maybe someone will do something as cool as killing your parents!

Anyway, I’m pretty jealous of that whole superhero life. I wish I was lucky enough to have friends to miss.

9 Ways To Break It To Your Parents That You Need Another Year To Graduate

May 2, 2017UncategorizedCampus Life, Graduation, Senior YearNooz Staff

Don’t you hate when all that drinking and lazing around in your dorm catch up to you? We’ve all been there! Well, lucky for you, we’ve got 9 ways to break it to your parents that your education is gonna take a little longer than expected.

1. Change your nickname in the family group chat to “RAW DISAPPOINTMENT.”
2. Send your mother a panicked Venmo request for $60,000.
3. Imitate your father by stacking up with two friends together in a trenchcoat, go to the front desk of the Statler, and attempt to reschedule his reservation to next year.
4. Tell them that the roads out of Cornell are slippery. Like…real fuckin’ slippy, my guy.
5. Convince them that you’ve married one of your professors and need to take their classes for a full school year as part of your vows.
6. Make them a nice breakfast in bed when you’re back home for the summer but spell out “I FUCKED UP AND NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER YEAR FOR MY BACHELOR’S” using the syrup.
7. Take them out to a nice seafood restaurant, rearrange the house exactly as it looked one year ago after they fall asleep, and then convince them that they’ve travelled back in time by exactly one year due to some bad clams they ate and talk about how excited you are to start your senior year.
8. Claim that a group of rogue geese have instituted martial law on campus and the new effective curfew has made it impossible to leave for the next year. Plead that they shouldn’t try calling the police, because the geese are the new police.
9. Don’t tell them, crash the Class of 2017 graduation, take out a student loan, and die in a sea of debt allowing the immense shame of lying to your parents to be overwritten by the pride of having gotten away with it all.
