Caution: Moving walkway is nearing its end
I've been traveling a lot recently and seem to be spending more and more time in Terminal B at the Denver airport 
.
What I like most about this airport is the moving walkways that talk to you as you're about to step off them. "Caution," they say, with just the right balance of friendliness and concern. "Moving walk is nearing its end. Please watch your step. Thank you."
Last week, as I trekked from one end of the concourse to the other, I got to thinking: Wouldn't it be nice if other things in life, such as college graduation, came with a similar message?
For example, here's what I wish my hypothetical end-of-college moving walkway would've said:
Caution, college life is nearing its end. Please watch your Ben & Jerry's
Recent college grads—or anyone with life experience, really—what would your walkway say?
Caution, college life is nearing its end.
Please watch your __________.
Thank you.

Gee, my moving walk way at the end of college said one thing: "move back home with your parents to save money!" And I stayed there for the next nine years.

Caution! College life is nearing its end. Please note that the boys you dated who seemed daring and dark and mysterious more than likely will NOT remain this way after graduation. A sea of Dockers and JC Penney easy care dress shirts are certainties in their future. Proceed with caution.

Oooh I want to play!
Caution: You are no longer aboard the parental cash train ... Remember you are not above living with roommates for cheaper rent, $100 shoes are rarely a good investment, and your mother would not be impressed by your high credit card debt or your low checking account balance – START SAVING!

Mine would have said: Caution—You’re about to spend your early 20s in a town with no stoplights, making just enough money to keep you in generic soda and Ramen noodles. Please find your new friends on cable television.
