With the last moments of your senior year and freedom rapidly approaching, you begin to realize that your real moments of childhood and college life are fleeting. It seems as though your parents just moved you into your dorm, kissed you on the forehead, and watched as you cried as they drove away. Boom, here you are applying for graduation. As you start preparing for the real world where you pay taxes, go to work from 9-5, and pay your own rent, you realize that college truly is the best four years of your life. As you start realizing these things about your life, just like Kylie Jenner did about 2016, here are some reasons to cry over being a senior and starting your real life.

1. Napping every day won’t be an acceptable past time anymore.

2. Remember that 8 a.m. you dreaded attending Junior year? Well, now that’s called going to work, and it lasts till 5 p.m.

3. And to top it off, skipping work isn’t as acceptable as skipping your 8 a.m.

4. Spending Wednesday nights at White Trash Wednesday probably won’t fit into your weekly schedule.

5. There won’t be any more meals in your sorority house or on campus dinning. Looks like we have to figure out how to use the oven for ourselves.

6. Sadly, all of your closest friends won’t be five minutes away anymore, but rather spread out across the country.

7. Attending home football games, tailgating by the stadium, and drinking beer at noon with the rest of your university won’t be your Saturday plans any longer.

8. You’ll now miss out on the random free food found on campus on any given occasion.

9. Your parents will tell you “goodluck” with paying rent on your own.

10. Trying to find a job in the city that you want with the salary that you want might make you pull your hair out.

11. Unfortunately, you’ll learn that eating healthy on a low, post-grad budget is difficult work.

12. Leaving your favorite college town bars and restaurants behind and recognizing that alcohol is more expensive in other places.

13. Applying for grad school and attending grad school is harder than you thought.

14. Graduation itself is a miserable, long, and grueling event.

15. “Summer Vacation” won’t be in the books anymore unless you decide to become a teacher.

16. On a happier note, for a good cry, you probably won’t have to stay up all night studying for a final exam ever again.

17. Leaving your college days, incredible friends, and alma mater won’t be easy. But the new life and endless opportunity awaits you. Go out there, pursue your dreams, and take on the world. Life’s what you make it. Maybe the next four years will be just as great.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.
