Graduated Saturday 🎓
college grad: one degree hotter 🎓💗🔥
Angel Scamp would like to corg-gratulate all of the 2024 grads! He earned many degrees through the years, from a Bachelor’s in Treat Persuasion, to a Master’s in Fishpond Paddling!
Wednesday, March 13.
They're gonna make you proud.
Because if space really is the place, consider them well on their way. En route, if you will. The following 12 mighty fine folk only went and graduated from NASA's astronaut school. They are now ready and set, suited and booted, to head up into that big old mysterious blanket above and see what's good. Perhaps they will bring y'all a souvenir.
In the meantime, may we introduce you to the people who put the rad in graduation. Nay, who put the ace in space.
Do you want to be a NASA astronaut? Applications are now open. And be sure to check out The Universe is Calling: Apply to Be a NASA Astronaut (Official NASA Video feat. Morgan Freeman.)

Sending good luck and love to all students starting their school year!
If you are in your final year know I am so proud of you for all of your hard work and progress and I know you can get through this semester, just remember to take good care of yourself!
If you’re somewhere in the middle know that this stretch may feel super long but it’ll be over before you know it. Keep putting in the work and enjoy everything you can! You will do amazing!
If you’re a freshman/year one I know you get a lot of judgement but I am truly so excited for you and I wish you the best luck on your new experience. Don’t be afraid to explore and ask for help. Remember that this is just the beginning, you have time to learn.
To all students remember to be kind to yourself. You are more than a grade or a score, and you have what it takes to succeed. As long as you move forward with love and patience you will get where you need to go through any twists and turns.
heyyy tumblr,
class of 2024 law student here. no offense but you know things are bad when i take it to tumblr. law school really does something to your psyche and i hate to say it but despite this whole movement on social media to be more transparent, i don't believe anyone will be completely honest about their experience when their words can be traced back to them. being believable as 100% genuine & honest while being anything less than to followers that cling to every syllable of yours does more damage than good imo.
ill start this page with some honesty that i would label as a 6/10 on the "how embarrassed would i be if someone from my post-grad job were to see this" scale i just made up.
my first semester i felt like the smartest version of myself i had ever been because i got 1 online award from a fake company (seriously what business does this "computer-assisted legal education" company have hosting awards for schools around the country & why are they receiving our grades to begin with) for having the highest grade in my class. mind you, this company/award is not at ALL affiliated with my school, its literally made up. but its something that is made PUBLIC (as in if you knew my name you could google me and this stupid award shows up), and so many schools still acknowledge it to, idk, create further divisions between students that i guess the whole system of making everyones grades 100% based on their finals and curved (not in a good way) doesn't do enough for?
now here i am, having finished my 6th semester & walked the commencement stage a few days ago ugly crying over a grade because i might have just lost my honors status. when in actuality .... ~ kim, there are people that are dying ~ why does any of this matter?? this is what 6 semesters of slowly having your confidence in your own intelligence chipped away at does to a person.
its not over yet though - bar prep starts last week :). actually it starts on may 20th officially, but no ones being honest about the fact that they really started studying the day after their finals ended, if not earlier.
so i've decided to document my experience for you all here. with bar prep & my foray into big law (you know this field was meant for babies because that's what we unsarcastically call a career at a top law firm) on the horizon, & 6 semesters of pure chaos behind me, i have a lot to say!
im not sure who this is going to reach because, again no offense tumblr, but i doubt this site has the reach it once did. maybe this will just end up being a time capsule for myself, which i would love. or maybe this will help 1 person cope, which i would love even more.
regardless, if you read this far, thank you & tttys. going to throw some random hashtags in now don't mind me.
Something I think is so important to acknowledge with the Columbia university protests is that these students were the class of 2020
the seniors, passing up on their college graduation, where once high schoolers denied their prom & graduation due to a global pandemic that the American government scoffed at.
They are not children protesting a war they "don't understand", these are students at one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world, they are well educated young adults looking back at the milestones that have been taken from them and willingly letting go of their second chance, because that is how strongly they believe in this cause
