I just got my college diploma, and I couldn't care less. I'm serious. It came in the mail yesterday. And I looked at it, then tossed it onto the side table. Is something wrong with me? I know I should be happier and all, but the feeling just isn't there. What can this be? Is it something I am lacking in my spirit or am I just weird?

I wouldn't really care either.
But hey, I don't know.

yes you are probably lacking in your spirit.... for whatever you went to school for, or the fact that your crazy college days are over and now you have to get a job and go into the "real world"... more than likely it's one of these two but, i don't know you, so who am i to say...
I never attended college at all, just for the fact that none of the diploma's sounded like something i'd want to devote my life too.....
here's some advice..... if you don't like your career path, give it a chance and mostly likely their will be some aspect of your education that you can apply to motivate you..... if your weary of getting into the job market, just remember your the one building your life. a good career can help you achieve things that you've wanted to do ex, build as house, start a bowling league, go to strip clubs every night, maybe eventually start your own business, build a castle out of aluminum cans....... or anything that you really want to do!
a diploma is just a diploma but, knowledge applied to dreams and aspirations is whatever you create it to be...
Maybe the paper can help you get in a door that you want to be in or screw it. burn the diploma and move to a tropic island, get a tan, and work as a bartender until you grow old and feeble, and you alway tell people dreamily "yeah i was a college graduate"

Are you possibly worried about entering the workforce and trying to start a new career? In college you weren't really competing against anyone to get your grades the way you will be competing to climb the ladder of success. This is just a theory though as I don't really know much about you.

it isn't really unnatural... maybe there are things about college that you aren't ready to let go of yet...
i guess we all have pretty good ideas what happens after school... maybe your mind isn't set yet on the future... maybe there are some things that you know would change but you don't want them to...
give yourself some time... evaluate yourself and your situation... there are people out there who value some other things other than education...
educational attainment isn't everything... but it could be of help to you in the near future...

I don't know for sure. You should feel very proud of the fact that you made it through and got your degree.That is a big accomplishment. Maybe there are other things on your mind right now.

Nope. You are totally fine. Although you should be pissed you spent so much money for a stupid piece of paper!
Just kidding. what you are feeling is normal. I felt the same way after college. It all seemed kind of anti-climatic.

You are probably so worn out by studying that now when itÅ all finished you have no emotions about it any more. It will pass.
