10 Signs That You're Having Senior Scaries

If senior year is approaching for you, then you might have a strong case of the Senior Scaries...Or maybe it's just me? Here's a few things you might be feeling as this last year of college quickly approaches:

1. You can’t wait for this school year to start, but you also wish time would slow the F down.


2. You calculate down to every dollar exactly how much money you can spend each semester to not be completely broke when graduation comes around.

3. You face the reality that you’ll inevitably be broke by graduation, but at least you had fun while it lasted.

4. You reflect on your full time job or internship from this past summer, and suddenly grad school starts looking pretty damn enticing.

5. You start thinking about ways to earn money post-college without having a real 9-5 job. Then you realize you’re not Mark Zuckerberg.


6. You try to rationalize how going out 6 days a week this semester is normal because it's the last time you can ever live this reckless and lack of responsibility.


7. You envy all the incoming freshman, and live vicariously through them and their trips to Ikea.

8. You have an overwhelming feeling to rebel before becoming a real adult.

9. Every time someone asks you your plans after graduation you make up a solid sounding, but extremely indefinite plan.

10. You start calculating your parent’s income and wonder if you can realistically convince them to let you stay a child for just a few more years.

Don't let the Senior Scaries prevent you from having the time of your life this last year of college, but how about we just never grow up? Deal? Deal.

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.

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.
