14 Signs You're A Senior In College
Lizzy McGuire

1. Every time someone mentions the real world you cringe.

2. You thought senioritis was real in high school, but now you have reached a whole new level. No bra, crumpled homework assignment, wine in your coffee mug and ready to tackle senior capstone.

3. Actually panicking when you realize you have no idea where you will be in less than 8 months from now. “I need a Xanex.”


4. You would rather just pretend that graduation is a myth and it isn’t just right around the corner.


5. You are feeling sentimental attachments to some of the most obscure things. “Aw, I once puked in that person's yard. Man, I’m really going to miss that yard.”


6. Overhearing a freshman say that they hate college and that they want to transfer and your response is to get irrationally angry. “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, I would KILL to be a freshman again. Appreciate it while you still can.”

7. You want to do all the things: lunch with Samantha, dinner with Charlotte and drinks after with Miranda. Oh and don't forget to squeeze in the 10-page paper you keep putting off.

8. Feeling nostalgic about how you used to go to frat parties, then going to said frat party and realizing how old you actually are. *looks around* *sees half-naked children (read: freshmen) everywhere* *calls cab to leave*


9. Your reaction to getting an A on a test is that of disbelief.

10. When your younger friends ask you to go out on a school night you nearly always have to say no due to your outrageous amount of homework.

11. But when you do go out it turns into a night like this:

...and this...

...and finally:

12. After a night out you feel a little under the weather. And by "a little" I mean:

13. Using “I’m a senior” as an excuse for EVERYTHING. I once cut a freshman in line for Chick-fil-a because they took too long to figure out which items made up a combo and still feel no shame.


14. You spend as much time with your closest friends while you still can. Crying real tears at the thought that they could live 500 miles away in less than 8 months.

You may be ready to leave undergrad life behind or you may not, either way you will make it through this with a diploma and a ton of precious memories so make them count.

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?
