Dramatic college students crown their youth with "acting crazy"

On campus during the graduation season, there are always college students who act "sneakily" and strangely. They may gather at the entrance of the teaching building, huddle around a camera, and burst into eerie laughter; they may appear beside the statues of famous people on campus, posing in difficult gymnastic positions; they may block the college street, slapping each other and showing off their acting skills; they may gather on the playground, "taming" their limbs and rehearsing group K - pop girl group dances...

Don't try to explain what they're up to. Graduates are just coming up with all sorts of stunts to compete in terms of how abstract they can be.

The times have changed. The solemn graduation ceremony photos are out of date. Now, what's popular is: see who can use a set of nine - grid photos to make teachers and classmates in the WeChat Moments scratch their heads with the most "?"

The following famous scenes can all serve as references for college students' abstract graduation photo poses. For example, standing majestically like Lu Xun holding up a sign that says "Quit!"

Imitate the domineering posters of TV dramas like The Long Season, The Knockout, White - Out... and call on brothers and sisters to pose together;

Or add explosion effects to the iconic teaching building in the photo and perform a sense of madness as if having survived a disaster...

The "school - weary" emotions that have been pent up for four years are finally being released all at once.

The campus in June is a site of large - scale atavistic behavior. During this once - in - a - lifetime crazy moment in campus life, college students have transformed into "abstract performance artists" and are indulging in their own art.

Some are using the dormitory corridor as a catwalk, staging a "graduation high - fashion week", with sheets and quilt covers as their evening gowns; some are excitedly holding an "upgraded version of the late - night chat", gossiping all night long, from the class beauties and campus heartthrobs in the next class to whether the universe has an end and whether time has a length; some are rehearsing their graduation acceptance speeches: "I've come this far thanks to these spiritual mentors who have accompanied me day and night - Teacher ChatGPT, Teacher Deepseek, Teacher Doubao..."

The campus has become an Oscar stage for dramatic college students. The would - be best actors and actresses are lining up to stage a grand finale.

Students are competing to see who can prepare the most peculiar graduation gifts to surprise others -

Students who are proficient in using multimedia are staying up late to edit vlogs. Their photo albums are full of embarrassing moments of their classmates over the past four years. Before long, these embarrassing stories will become public materials, circulated among teachers and classmates in the department;

There are also college students who go to their dear tutors' doors one last time to offer farewell blessings. They may bring giant tacky roll - up posters, imitating the style of Coconut Palm Coconut Juice, and award their thesis tutors the "Miracle - Worker" award;

Even when lining up to shake hands with the school principal at the graduation ceremony, there are always eye - catching students teaching the principal how to make a heart shape with their hands, leaving a special impression on everyone...

College students on the verge of graduation seem to have flipped a switch. Maybe, for many people, memories of campus life have been occupied by the multiple pressures of study and employment. But on the eve of graduation, they decide - now that everything is settled, it's finally time to slow down and have one last wild spree! The seemingly absurd performance art is actually a way to heal emotions in a bold and unrestrained manner, full of romanticism.

The farewell dinners with extremely high emotional intensity: a graduation ritual exclusive to college students

However, the crazy art will eventually come to an end. College students during the graduation season are like riders on an emotional roller - coaster. After the campus drama finally wraps up and the extreme crazy celebration is over, a more surging sense of sorrow and a series of heartfelt goodbyes follow.

As a graduate once said - the sadness of graduation is lagging.

There are always endless procedures and materials to collect in June. On one hand, students are busy accepting job offers, making early preparations for the new stage of life. On the other hand, they are busy packing up their luggage, arranging accommodation, and running around for their next stop. When they finally have some free time and look at the empty dormitory, they feel a lingering sense of sadness that "I've finally graduated".

The farewell dinners with teachers and classmates have become the final moment to push the emotional intensity to the peak. Before going their separate ways across the country, there must be a long and formal goodbye. But as college students become more and more abstract with each passing year, these farewell dinners, which should be full of sadness, always end up being played out in a comical way -

First of all, I'd like to pay tribute to the affordable beverage kings that have accompanied me for four years. Instead of gathering to enjoy mountain delicacies and seafood, college students prefer to have a "Meeting of Mixue Bingcheng". They want to collect the signature products of their long - time companions, such as Luckin Coffee, Mixue Bingcheng, and Cotti Coffee.

Then, take a final tour of the holy land where college students gather - it's only when graduating that you realize you'll miss the 31% discount for students at Haidilao the most.

When it comes to graduation, farewell drinking parties are also inevitable. Drinking Baijiu straight from the bottle? That's too old - fashioned. College students have developed Baijiu into cocktails. Even a 55 - degree strong liquor can be turned into a stylish sweet drink. Everyone gathers together, clinking glasses in a "The Age of Adeline" style to toast to life. Isn't this a kind of coming - of - age ceremony?

Have a small courage - boosting drink before entering society, giving yourself a bit of courage and determination. Things that you can't say on normal days can be freely poured out with the help of alcohol.

They may self - mock at the drinking party, saying, "After burying my head in research with my tutor, I finally realized that the consumable in the laboratory was actually me"; they may chat about gossips, bringing back memories of innocent youthful love, such as the dormitory brainstorming strategies, the collective cheering to create encounters, the "socially - dead" scene of a failed confession, and the unrequited love that fizzled out...

Losing their senses is the common pursuit of everyone. They all want to get drunk willingly and have a good release.

Some are hugging the utility pole and singing, seamlessly switching from The Crossroads Where the Phoenix Flowers Bloom to Borrow Five Hundred Years More from Heaven; some are pulling the passing security guards to spread their graduation blessings; some are hugging the stone lion at the entrance of the canteen and crying, "Why are you still so unpalatable after four years?"; some are passionately reciting their wish of "lying flat after graduation" on the dormitory rooftop...

Are they a bit drunk or just pretending? Maybe only they themselves know. These memories will flash back countless times in five or ten years, becoming the most profound memorial of campus life.

Emotional release: a burden - free farewell to the graduation season

Graduation is a "transition" in life. You always have to get off the train when it arrives at the station. Graduates about to enter society are gradually training themselves to leave the familiar campus environment and accept an uncertain future.

There used to be a special group on Douban called the "Alliance of Victims with Good - Student Mentality". When transitioning from campus to the workplace and the broader expanse of
