10 Thoughts Going Into Senior Year
Say Anything Blog

1. Wait, I'm a Senior?

I feel like just yesterday I moved into my freshman year and somehow I'm only 9 months away from being on my own and facing the real world. When did this happen? I guess this is finally my time to be able to walk around campus like I own the place.

2. How am I supposed to prep for my future career? I can’t even master meal prepping.

We've all been told since like the 8th grade to start preparing for our future careers. I currently don't know what my future job will be so how am I supposed to get ready for it? I'm hoping a job will just jump out at me soon enough.

3. OK…I tell myself every semester I won’t procrastinate. I’ll accept now that that's a lie.

Procrastination has been my best friend through college. I hate to say it but I operate better under pressure so why keep lying to myself? I'll just keep doing my thing.

4. I’ll still see all my friends once I graduate, right?


I have made some of my best friends in college and couldn't imagine doing life without them. I would love if I could still meet them in our kitchen at one in the morning to eat a snack or make random shopping trips in the middle of the day like we do now.

5. So after college, can I still take as many naps and watch as much Netflix as I do now?

Naps. I feel truly blessed when I get to take a nap during the weekday. With my last year of school, it is my goal to take as many naps as I can while I juggle work, school, clubs, and a social life. Netflix and naps are just too important.

6. I am pretty excited about making some actual money.



I'm not gonna lie, when I start making real money will be an exciting and dangerous time in my life. My online shopping and random trips to Sephora may increase and I can't wait for it.

7. I guess this is my last year of wearing t-shirts everyday.


One of my favorite parts about college is that it is perfectly acceptable to show up in a t-shirt and running shorts to class. I would be lying if I said I never hopped out of bed and rolled onto class without changing my outfit. And did anyone ever notice? Nope.

8. Everyone, stop pressuring me to figure my life out.

Every senior in college can relate to the paralyzing moment during every conversation when people ask, "so what are you going to do after you graduate...do you have a job lined up?" I could find an awesome job, I could go get married, I could forget about the real world and go live on a beach somewhere. I'll let you know when I do.

9. I'm grown up...

I'm a senior in college and I still like knowing that my mom and dad are always there to help me. I'm still in my phase of obsessing over puppies and liking to sing along to Disney. Yes, I'm grown up but I don't always feel like a grown up.

10. I’m still proud of myself for making it this far.



We are so close! AH. Even after all these crazy, unsure thoughts, I am still so grateful for the opportunity to further my education. I'm grateful for all the sleepless nights, freakout moments of not having a scantron on test day, and drinking way too much coffee to make it through the days. Pursuing a degree is one of the most special opportunities and this year is going to fly by.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
