In about a week, I will be starting my last first day of school ever. In about 270 days, I will be graduated from college...but who's counting? Me! I'm counting. I'm ready and I don't care what anyone says. I don't like to tell people that I'm about to graduate from college because they aren't that supportive. The majority of people like to bring me down and I am over it.

Here is what I really want to say to you, but can't because my mama raised me to be kind or something:

1. You're not going to grad school? I think you should re-think that decision.


Is this your way of offering to pay for my graduate schooling?

2. Life after college is so much responsibility. Enjoy this time.

Oh, good to know, because I don't have any responsibilities now. I'm not paying bills on my own or working and going to school.

3. You don't start out working your dream job.

I know you're right, but don't remind me.

4. So, what are your plans for after graduation?

*eye roll*

5. Well, what do you want to do?

I don't know, okay?

6. Let's figure out your future.

Stop.Please.

7. Good luck finding a job.

Let's not do this.

8. You should really save that money & put it toward paying off your loans.

I only wanted a taco. Let me live.

9. I bet you're so excited.

You could say that.

10. You should really think more about your post-grad life.

I appreciate all of your concern and advice, but I'm just trying to make it through these next two semesters without any meltdowns. I'm freaking out already because it's a big deal, so send words of encouragement and let all of your bosses know I'm hard working!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
