Ever since I could recall, I imagined what the big day (graduating college) would feel like. What would I do when I walked across the stage? Cry, wave to my family, or perhaps dab. All three are considerable options.
Regardless of how I decide to walk across the stage on that big night, one thing is for sure, all my hard work will have payed off. One big celebration filled with bittersweet tears of joys, still trying to process the tough journey has come to an end.
Before enrolling into college, I was under the assumption that I had an extensive amount of time to "get my life together" but as graduation is beginning to creep up on myself and lots of others, I am realizing that my years as a college student was very brief.
Where did the time go? Take me back to late night coffee runs, delaying homework with Netflix, submitting homework at 11:59pm like a boss, and of course pulling all-nighters.
SIKE! I'll pass on the homework assignments, but the college experience I've been able to enjoy in a short amount of time has been pretty A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
I'm still livin' young and free but as I reflect on my time in school I have managed to accomplish much in a short time span:
- Finding a BFFL
- How to pay rent, bills, utilities, etc.
- How to live with out mommy and daddy
- How to make a meal out of anything ex.(Fruit Loops and Ramen)
With that being said, there is still that I am uncertain about going into the future. My mind is constantly thinking about my next step. However, I know I'm not the only one. Here are 10 Thoughts Every Soon To Be Graduate Has:
1. I don't think I'm ready to be an adult yet
2. *Searches around for a better adult*
3. Should I stay in school longer so I can avoid the real world?
4. Hmm, I could possibly defer my student loans longer. YAY!
5. What am I going to do with my life....
6. Can I fast forward to the part to where I am rich already, have an attractive husband, and make six figures?
7. If one more person decides to ask me "What are you doing after school?", I think I might shoot myself?
8. I think I might backpack through Europe..
9. I'm so broke,broke,broke,broke (sung in Rihanna voice)
10. Almost done with the semester (insert how many more days till graduation)
