5 Emotions College Seniors Experience Spring Semester

Graduation: The happiest of times, the scariest of times.

5 Emotions College Seniors Experience Spring Semester
Huffington Post

From one college senior to another, here are five emotions we've all been experiencing the past few weeks. We're so close to the finish line so let's bring on all the feels!

1: Excitement


In just a few short months, we will be walking across the stage, getting our diplomas, and beginning our lives as adults. There are no more 8 AM classes, sharing a bathroom with an entire floor, or hiking across campus in the middle of a blizzard to get to the dining hall. The excitement is real!

2: Terror

In just a few short months, we will be walking across the stage, getting our diplomas, and beginning our lives as adults. This means we will be entering the "real world" where we are expected to get substantial jobs so we can start to pay back the crazy loans we've taken out over the years. Graduating is as terrifying as it is exciting and for the same exact reasons.

3: Nostalgia


After four years, there are only a handful of places or objects that do not hold a deeper meaning for us, and as we pass them for some of the last times, all of the memories they hold are coming back

"Remember the first time we got on the bus at that bus stop instead of our usual one?" "Remember sitting on this hill studying for finals freshmen year? It feels like it was so long ago!" Anything and everything is going to hit the feels during the last few weeks of classes; we just need to embrace it.

4: Confusion


"I'm sorry Professor, but you mean as soon as I hand in this last paper I am done? For good? As in my degree requirements will be complete? That cannot be possible; I just moved into my freshman dorm last week... Right?"

5: Panic


As graduation nears, there are a million and one things that need to be accomplished before the day arrives. We have to have our senior pictures done, study for finals, apply for jobs (which, we should have already done but PROCRASTINATION), and pack up our rooms for the last time. So much to do, so little time.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
