Post college motivational movies

Do you ever watch a movie and feel like it's reflecting everything that's happening in your life at the current moment? You're not alone. Now that graduation is approaching, we find ourselves thinking about what we're going to be doing post college graduation. And of course there are several movies out there that trigger those thoughts in our minds. Here's a short list of movies that are very encouraging to watch if you're a graduating senior.


The main characters in Pitch Perfect 2 are graduating seniors. Throughout the movie, they touch on what they'll be doing after they graduate. Some of them have a plan and some of them said they were going to let life take them where it will. Though this topic isn't the focus of the movie, it does spark some thoughts in our minds about what life will be like after graduating from college.


This movie doesn't have much to do with college graduation at all, but it does have to do with finding yourself in the working world. Anne Hathaway's character is a successful owner of a fashion company and her character's life shows the potential college graduates have after leaving college. It's a really touching movie and is highly recommended. 


And finally, Get a Job is that special movie that relates perfectly to communication majors that are worrying about what they'll be doing post graduation. The main character finds himself working as the "film guy" for a huge company and ends up taking his video editing skills in his own direction at the end, creating his own video production company. These types of situations probably take forever to become successful with, but considering how relatable this movie is for communication majors is definitely something that should be viewed by those individuals.

And of course there are many more movies that are motivational for those graduating from college in a few days. Yes, these are just movies and life doesn't work out like it does in the movies. But they do send good messages to individuals who are in need of a little push. 


College Graduation

It's two more weeks until graduation. Your four years of college are coming to an end. This is the moment you've been waiting for, walking across that stage and receiving your diploma.

Yet, you find yourself worrying about what will happen afterwards. What career will you be doing, what state you'll be living in, what salary you'll be making. All these thoughts are weighing you down.

But remember to take a moment and look back on everything you've done in school. The friends you've made, the people you've met, the classes you've taken even if you didn't like some of them. These moments created new lessons for you to learn from or have created new changes in your life. Now it's time to take those lessons and enter the real world. Not only the lessons from what you've learned in classes but from the people who have surrounded you for the past four years.

Now that your time in college is coming to and end, lets look at some of the things that won't be missed from your college days.

1. No more exams to study for and worry about.

2. No more fifteen page papers to write.

3. No more gross dinning hall food (if you didn't like that stuff anyway).

4. No more annoying roommates (if you had those).

5. And no more annoying professors that you don't like.

Though these are the things that won't be missed after graduating, but again, remember the precious moments you've been through in school that have made you who you are the day you wear your cap and gown.
