alma later

Definition

A pun on 'alma mater' referring to the school you're putting off, usually because you've decided to start working, earning money, and seeing the world instead. It's deferred education with better job prospects. Your diploma will arrive eventually, probably from the school of hard knocks.

Example Usage

Mia skipped the dorms and went straight to the workforce, so her alma later is a cubicle farm.
