Today, I graduated from college and my parents gave me an apple. Not the computer, the fruit. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Is that their way of joking about you becoming a teacher?

You know, we could reply to EVERY post with "think of starving kids in Africa." Kinda takes the fun out of reading them though.

You are such a WHINER. Im guessing since you were expecting gifts that they probably have money and paid for your college. Do you realize how much money theyve already spent on you?

#115--not everyone's parents pay for their kids' college. Mine don't. But they do give us at least a little gift when any of us have graduated. And they definitely aren't rich. In fact, they're quite the opposite. Don't assume that the OP is spoiled.

#41, they give you things on your birthday bc u survived that long. OP, since you so ungrateful, give the apple to a homeless person. Better yet, buy a whole bag of them to give to a couple of people. y is everyone forgetting yellow apples?!

Everyone who says they're being spoiled if you expect ANYTHING for you birthday, card, party ANYTHING then YOU are actually spoiled since you didn't do anything to deserve it. Most of you guys are being jerks. Its a big day, I agree with the people who said that getting gifts for graduating makes more sense than a birthday. And they aren't spoiled for expecting something after all that hard work, most people expect something for their birthday and they didn't do anything to deserve it- even if it's just a cake and a small family party. That's what your parents should've done if they are low on funds, a cake and decorations are what, $20 dollars maybe. At least that means something instead of an apple, unless you are becoming a teacher and they have another gift or party planned for you...

#120-- 1. I didn't say OP should or was expecting something, I only said that a lot of parents do give their kids some kind of gift for graduating college because so many posters on here acted like it was some ridiculous thing for anyone to get a graduation gift. 2. The reason I said the thing about "never get anything good in their life again" is because the people who say he shouldn't be complaining because there are starving kids in Africa are probably the type of people who would throw that in someone's face anytime they spent any money on themselves-even just for things like going out to a nice dinner, getting a nice car, etc....NORMAL things. And giving someone a present isn't WASTING money! 3. NO I didn't say he deserved more. NO I didn't say he should get whatever he wants because he graduated. You're just putting words in my mouth because you want to believe I said something I didn't. How do I know the parents didn't blow all their savings on his college?? How do YOU know that they DID? And how do you know that OP didn't pay for it HIMSELF?? And I never said anything about him deserving to be showered with gifts. I do not think that. Again, something you were only wanting me to be saying so you could try and make a point that isn't true. I think you just need to actually read the words I write, not assume what I mean, who I am, or what my life is like. DUMBASS.

Give them both either one grape or a pomegranate seed for their birthdays.
