You have finally graduated college, after a strong 4-year run as a senior. You stayed as long as they would let you, you changed your major 15 times, and you've finally run out of financial aid. I suppose it's probably time to venture forth and find out what this whole "real world" business is all about. You need to get a job, you need to get religion, and you need to get a girlfriend. There are a few things that you need to change, however, before you can achieve any of these goals...starting with your bulging closet filled with funny t-shirts and pajama pants.
The best place to start your post-grad career moves is to, of course, take advantage of whatever career you learned about during your decade of schooling. You need to find a job that mirrors something close to what you learned about. Since there are no real careers in "underwater basket weaving" or "comic book history", you might want to go into some entry-level position that only requires a college degree. The one thing you cannot do is wear your funny t-shirts to your potential job interviews. Once you reveal your utter lack of responsibility and dedication, you're done for.
Once you've managed not to completely turn an employer off from what minimal skills you have to offer, it's time for you to make things right with the Big Guy upstairs. You did so many bad things in college, that it is impossible to count the sins. You would need a calculator that works a lot better than that old TI-85 you spilled beer all over. Once again, your funny t-shirts are not going to help you here. You're going to need to kiss some serious heavenly booty to make amends, and your current wardrobe isn't going to impress a Sunday School teacher, let alone a deity.
By the good graces of the God you just made fervent apologies to, you've managed to get a job. That's the good news. The bad news is that you're still lonely and living alone in a strange city with no friends. A girlfriend would do great things for your confidence and mood, so you decide to dive in deep into the local night life. If you're planning on going to clubs and bars, your funny t-shirts may make you a few new friends in the dude department...but the ladies are surely going to steer clear. It's not like it was in college, buddy. It takes more than a 12 pack of beer to get a girl. It takes professionalism and you have to at least look like you're worth breeding with.
I'm not sure if you've been paying attention, but I just told you that you wouldn't get a job, find religion, or get a girlfriend if you don't stop wearing funny t-shirts everywhere you go. If that isn't motivation to go out and buy some clothes that don't have curse words, references to beer, or semi-nude women on them...well, I don't know what is. You could always just sit on your couch, play video games, and hope your parents will let you move back in. Funny t-shirts may be hard to give up, but some people just never learn how to live in a post-graduate world.
