10 Reasons Every College Student is Afraid to Graduate
A Matter of Flight

It’s okay, every student has some doubts about graduating college. There’s just so much beyond college that it can all be so overwhelming. But because college is so fun (right, cause pulling all-nighters to finish essays and spending hours doing homework is fun) most students don’t want it to end. And who can blame them? College is supposed to be some of the best years of your life! I know I don’t want it to end! However, like all good things, college and the fours years that are most likely spend in it, will eventually come to an end. Even if it seems far away. So here are some reasons that students not only don’t want college to end, but are scared of it ending.

1. Being shoved out into the real world.

Wait… what’s that? How does one “adult”?

2. Student Debt.

Oh yeah… we actually have to pay that back.


3. The workforce.

Typical family dinner conversation: “So what do you plan on doing with your degree?” “I DON”T KNOW OK.”

4. Financial Support.

How do you get a job? Please, tell me, how?

5. Leaving your friends.

Honestly, how will I have even have friends when I’m outside of college? Will my old friends still talk to me?

6. Living on your own.

Housing isn’t just easily provided but you now have to find it. What? Not only do you have to find it, you have to be able to afford it and all the commodities.

Which leads me to the next point…

7. Bills.

Because water, heat, electricity, sewer and whatever else are important.

8. You really can’t even call your parents and beg for money anymore.

Well, you can. But chances are it won’t have the old charm that it used to since you’re not in college anymore and don’t have an excuse for not having a job.

9. There will be no structure.

Let’s be real, we are totally just going to make it up as we go after graduation and not having structure is scary!

10. The real pursuit of happiness begins...

And it's completely up to you! While this is scary for a lot of students, it shouldn't be. Try and look at it this way, you can do whatever you want with your life. The world is your canvas. Adventure is out there!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
