"Daria: Is It College Yet?" is the telemovie series finale for the animated television show "Daria". It tells the tale of Daria Morgendorffer, her best friend, Jane Lane, and the rest of the seniors at Lawndale High preparing for their final days there, as they prepare to head to college.

Plot

With high school graduation coming near Daria is faced with difficult decisions about choosing her college and her future with Tom. Jane has second thoughts about whether she wishes to become a college student. Meanwhile, Quinn gets a job as a hostess at an upscale French restaurant to pay back her mother for maxing out one of her credit cards. She readily befriends one of her co-workers, Lindy (a college student), only to discover that she has a drinking problem. Ms. Barch, being informed by Mr. O'Neill that her divorce is nothing to be ashamed of, leads her to believe that he proposed to her, thus scaring him away from her. Sandi mysteriously loses her voice, and Stacey (whose wish when she blew out her birthday cake would be that Sandi would simply stop talking) feels responsible.

The movie ends with Daria and Jane (who heeded Daria's advice about applying to college) being accepted into colleges both in Boston. Daria and Tom break up because Daria feels that trying to stay together as a couple in college would ask way too much of both of them. Nonetheless, they decide that they will keep in touch with each other throughout college as friends. The Fashion Club ends up disbanding, but decides that they will spend the next day analyzing what they will do with all their free time.

At Lawndale High's graduation, Jodie gives the valedictory address. Daria receives the Dian Fossey Award for Academic Achievement and gives a sincere speech thanking her family. The final scene has Daria and Jane eating pizza and talking about the graduation and their future.

During the end credits, there are pictures that depict possible future careers and scenarios for many of the series' characters.

Alternate versions

An edited version of the movie was aired, which cut several scenes from the original broadcast (roughly seven minutes worth of footage.) The DVD release included this edit, not the original broadcast version.
