Appropriate use of futur proche
Post Body
I understand that French has two different ways of speaking of what will be: the futur proche and the future tense. The former being for the "immediate future" and the later for everything else.

- I will graduate in 2017.
- I'm going to graduate in 2017.
Is there a rule of thumb as to when you would use one vs the other in Frech?
