14 Signs You're A Senior In College
Lizzy McGuire

1. Every time someone mentions the real world you cringe.

2. You thought senioritis was real in high school, but now you have reached a whole new level. No bra, crumpled homework assignment, wine in your coffee mug and ready to tackle senior capstone.

3. Actually panicking when you realize you have no idea where you will be in less than 8 months from now. “I need a Xanex.”


4. You would rather just pretend that graduation is a myth and it isn’t just right around the corner.


5. You are feeling sentimental attachments to some of the most obscure things. “Aw, I once puked in that person's yard. Man, I’m really going to miss that yard.”


6. Overhearing a freshman say that they hate college and that they want to transfer and your response is to get irrationally angry. “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, I would KILL to be a freshman again. Appreciate it while you still can.”

7. You want to do all the things: lunch with Samantha, dinner with Charlotte and drinks after with Miranda. Oh and don't forget to squeeze in the 10-page paper you keep putting off.

8. Feeling nostalgic about how you used to go to frat parties, then going to said frat party and realizing how old you actually are. *looks around* *sees half-naked children (read: freshmen) everywhere* *calls cab to leave*


9. Your reaction to getting an A on a test is that of disbelief.

10. When your younger friends ask you to go out on a school night you nearly always have to say no due to your outrageous amount of homework.

11. But when you do go out it turns into a night like this:

...and this...

...and finally:

12. After a night out you feel a little under the weather. And by "a little" I mean:

13. Using “I’m a senior” as an excuse for EVERYTHING. I once cut a freshman in line for Chick-fil-a because they took too long to figure out which items made up a combo and still feel no shame.


14. You spend as much time with your closest friends while you still can. Crying real tears at the thought that they could live 500 miles away in less than 8 months.

You may be ready to leave undergrad life behind or you may not, either way you will make it through this with a diploma and a ton of precious memories so make them count.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
