One day you are in your first day of college classes wishing and hoping that it flies by. You go through endless late nights of studying, pounds of coffee, and eat way too much processed food. You have emotional breakdowns and feelings of failure. You rethink your major and your life plan. You push yourself to complete a task you feel is really far away. But it flies by. Before you know it, you are entering your last semester of college and preparing yourself for the real world. You see the four years (or more) flash by before your eyes and see yourself walking across the stage to receive your diploma. Right before graduating and being pushed out the doors of college and into the real world, you have many thoughts running through your mind. Here are just 26 thoughts that many come across during this time.

  1. What am I going to do when I graduate?
  2. Should I get a dog after graduation?
  3. Of course, I should get a dog
  4. I better not fall while getting my diploma.
  5. When do I start applying for jobs?
  6. Where do I apply?
  7. What kind of dog am I getting?
  8. What is health insurance?
  9. Where do I get this so called health insurance?
  10. Oh my, I have to learn to cook real food…
  11. Can I still have Ramen every night?
  12. I’m actually going to graduate?
  13. What if I don’t graduate?
  14. Stop, you are graduating.
  15. I should probably buy professional clothing.
  16. What clothes are considered professional?
  17. OH MY I’ll be in the real world…
  18. Try not to panic
  19. Totally panicking
  20. Okay how about that dog though
  21. I’m naming him Max.
  22. OOOO can’t wait to live on my own.
  23. Where am I going to live?
  24. I will be living on my own….
  25. Panic attack starting 3.2.1...
The time has come that you can finally see all your hopes and dreams of graduating coming true. You may be thinking about the dog (or cat if you must) you will be getting or what it takes to do this whole growing up thing. You may over think everything a time or two or question if you will graduate. You may lose your mind a few times. Isn’t that the grand perk of college? Anyways, you got this. You will graduate, and you will be awesome. Remind yourself this once in awhile before you completely lose your mind. I’ll meet you on the stage graduation day in May. You can most likely catch me doing cartwheels as I finally graduate.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

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!
