15 Quotes For Graduating Seniors

Post-graduation life can be terrifying. There's a lot of uncertainty brewing, and in combination with panic of becoming an adult, graduation can seem more like a punishment rather than an accomplishment. But there's no need to fear this next step. Graduation is an accomplishment, and although you may be worried about all the change that's going to happen, I promise you that it'll be okay. Here's fifteen quotes to help ease your anxious mind:

11. "Darling, self discovery isn't always about the most convenient ways. You'll have to burn, learn and yearn the expected, the unusual and the unknown." -Noor Unnahar

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.
