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.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Sleepovers are not a thing. They're just not.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
