My daughter, Shannon, felt that way when she completed her degree in May. Even though she was ecstatic to have finished school, she was crabby and out of sorts. It really is tough to leave one part of your life behind and move on to the next step. Graduating college and leaving your student status behind to become a "responsible" adult is a pretty huge step. Shannon is blessed because she has a job already and her employer (the US government) will pay her student loans if she signs a commitment contract with them.
