Not enough people are talking about the Spring Class of 2020...

As a master’s student graduating in May during this pandemic, I want to share what this experience looks like for the Class of 2020...

Students have worked for years on their education so they can graduate, find a job, and achieve financial independence. We’ve reached the finish line, but the pandemic continues and the economy is at a stand-still. Student debt has also amassed because our education system is broken. Federal exit counseling recommends that I make $50,000+/yr to pay off my debt. Cool, except internships were canceled mid-semester and job offers have been indefinitely rescinded. Out-of-state and foreign students were left to fend for themselves when campus closed. Those of us who are working as we finish our studies have been furloughed especially because corporations nix young employees first during economic downturns. Employers are raising job requirements on open positions because job candidate supply is high. Being young professionals, we simply can’t compete. We will now have an “employment gap” on our resumes which is frowned upon by recruiters. The longer this persists, the wider the gap grows. 

Meanwhile, the government denied students the $1,200 stimulus check if they were claimed on their parents’ taxes. We still have bills to pay. Student loans might have been deferred for now, but when the economy returns to normal, many are expected to pay for all the deferred payments. Oh yeah, rent is due and we still have no income.

I’m not sharing this to complain, but to spread awareness because very few people seem to understand what students have been dealing with during this crisis. Stay inside and congratulate a Spring 2020 graduate. It’s the absolute least anyone can do given the circumstances because commencement ceremonies and post-grad celebrations are canceled. We will prevail.

My brother’s high school is having the graduates go to the school in groups based on their last name to film them walking across a stage. Once all of the groups are done, they’re going to mesh the footage together and upload it to YouTube for everyone to watch.

My brother is one of the graduates. My brother is graduating on fucking YouTube. 2020 do be wildin’.
