27 Thoughts Every Senior Has The Last Night Before Classes

The first day of classes is unique. The day before than, is even more so. Even the freest of spirits live according to some kind of routine, and when classes start, with it begins an entirely new routine. For myself, tomorrow is the first day of my senior year. That's pretty intense. Most incoming seniors can agree, this is a crazy time for us.

Here are 27 thoughts every senior has the night before the first day of classes:

1. I'm so ready for something new. I'm ready for classes. This will be great.

2. I'm so unprepared!

3. Who even cares, I'm almost done.

4. I should go to bed early.

5. That definitely won't happen.

6. I just want to graduate. I need to be done.

7. I'M SO OLD. HOW CAN THIS BE THE END? I'M NOT READY.

8. One year from now I need a real job. Like, to support myself.

9. Nahhh, by then my first single will drop and I'll be fine. (nervous laughter)

10. Maybe I should go to grad school?

11. But for what? I didn't even think I'd make it this far.

12. Let's be real, I'm over school.

13. (researches grad schools for an hour)

14. Shoot, I have CLASS tomorrow.

15. What should I wear?

16. I don't even know where my classes are. I should look that up. (doesn't)

17. I definitely need to go to bed soon. Gotta keep up appearances.

18. I'm so elderly and knowledgable, and I have such a wealth of knowledge to share.

19. I'm just a kid! I can't even buy my own food, much less make a resume, or file taxes, or live alone. Please don't make me.

20. It's so late. I need to go to bed.

21. HEYYYYYYYYYY (enter name here) HOW WAS YOUR SUMMERRR???!!

22. Will my professor notice if I miss the first day?

23. I'm too old for this.

24. Please college, never end, I don't even know what I want to be yet.

25. What if I don't know anyone in my classes?

26. Pshhhhh of course I will. (right? I should, you'd think.) (secretly terrified.)

27. I need to go to bed. Please wake up in time for class.


Well, I don't know if everyone can relate to these. But these are my current thoughts as I sit here, preparing for the day ahead. Once I wake up tomorrow, a new life will begin. A daily rigid schedule of classes, work, sports and sleep (and fingers crossed, an actual life somewhere in there). This past summer was magical. I final summer of freedom and carefree living. Next summer will change things and that's okay. First, I need to get through senior year. Goodnight people, gotta get my learn on.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
