Being a senior in college is a crazy time. Not only do you have the real world right around the corner but after graduation the whole "adulting" process becomes way to real. Here are the 10 daily thoughts that not only I but majority of college seniors have on a daily basis.

1. "I am so excited to finally be done with school."

After years and years of complaining about school, homework, teachers, professors and projects the time is finally here where you don't have to worry about that anymore.

2. "How many more days till graduation?"

We all have a countdown on our phone that is counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds till we walk across that stage in front of faculty members that one we barely know and two have never seen until this day.

3. "I don't care if I wore this shirt yesterday, I am a senior and I dare someone to say something to me about it"


After spending years with the same exact people the mentality of "dress to impress" is no longer a thing. Especially when majority of your classes are with people who have been in the same class as you since freshman year.

4. "Do I really have to go to class, I mean this is the fifth time I've had this professor."


We all have those days where we don't wanna get out of bed and those days seem to happen a lot more frequently during your senior year. We all hope that the professors made the syllabus available online because it's highly likely if it was handed out in paper form its long gone crumbled up in the bottom of our book bags. The syllabus is the holy grail when it comes to how many classes can one miss before it actually hurts our grade

5. "Wait, our senior presentation has to be how long?!"


The main focus of senior year for many of us is the "senior project." Many of us work all year long with a group. But when it comes closer to the day of the presentation we start to freak out that we have to present this whole thing for 20 minutes.

6. "So how many days till graduation again?"


Seriously I am not sure if I can do another week of classes

7. "Oh I actually have to start looking for a real job."


I have to find a real job. Not one that's just going to be a part time one but one thats going to pay all the adult bills that are about to hit my bank account.

8. "Is it acceptable to study at the bar?"


At this stage of the school year, we all know what study process works best for us and we also know what days our favorite bar tender is working as well. The decision to study or go to the bar is almost an impossible one to make so why not combine the both of them.

9. "Tailgate pre graduation or nah?"


Graduation day is the last who-rah of your college career. So why not go out the right way with one more tailgate.

10. "I am going to miss this so much."



The Wednesday through Sunday morning hangovers, the last minute cram sessions and the "I can't make it to class today" emails are no longer a normal thing. College is meant to be the best four years of your life and I know for me, they were. I have learned a lot of life lessons, met a lot of people and went to one too many house parties. I will cherish and hold these memories and lessons with me for the rest of my life. It's finally time to write a new chapter in my book of life.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
