As my senior year wraps up, I've started to come across a sort of existential crisis. I've been waiting for the day I graduate and go off to college, but now I'm realizing there are things I have to worry about like paying for college, making food, making new friends, and just overall... what will happen next? All of us have these kinds of questions and thoughts rushing through our minds, so I figured I'd write down the ones that seem the most important.

1. What is college?

2. How do you cook food? Do I get to eat out every day now?

3. How often do I have to come visit?

4. Do I know anyone going to my college?

5. Where am I going to live?

6. How do I get a roommate?

7. What kind of people is going to be at my college?

8. Do I really have to go to school today?

9. What's the point in T4 when none of it matters?

10. Do I have to take my exams?

11. What are finals?

12. How much does tuition costs?

13. Where can I get scholarships?

14. Another college essay?

15. How big is my dorm room?

16. Are there any summer assignments?

17. Please don't let there be summer assignments

18. What am I going to do this summer?

19. Is college REALLY that hard?

20. What did I learn in the last 4 years?

21. When do I get my cap and gown?

22. What college are they going to?

23. I should've applied to that college (I SO would've gotten in)

24. Did I work that hard when I was an underclassman?

25. Did I pick the right major?

26. Can I change my major?

27. What jobs can I even get with this major?

28. If only I tried a little harder....oh well

29. Crap, I should really study for my AP Test tomorrow

30. What cords do I get?

31. How many tickets do I get for graduation?

32. I don't have to care about the second semester right?

33. If I fail this class can I still graduate?

34. Crap, I might fail this class

35. I need to talk to my counselor about this class

36. I wonder if this teacher has noticed me sleeping through their class every day

37. Does it even matter if they do notice?

38. I'm sleepy

39. No way I will EVER take an 8 a.m.

40. College = Freedommmmm!!!

41. College is gonna be great (I hope)!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
