"So what do you want to do when you graduate?"

5 Pictures That Sum Up Senior Year Of College

Upon entering my last year of college, especially since I'm graduating a semester early, I'm constantly getting questioned about what my post-university plans are. "What do you want to do with your life?" "What career are looking to have?" "Oh, you're an English major? Are you going to teach?"

Each time I get asked these questions, I just want to roll my eyes and walk away or throw a mini tantrum because the truth is, I don't really know what I'm going to be doing a year from now. A year from now I could be bumming in my apartment, futilely job hunting in a world where people value books and literary studies less and less, happy to wait for the next iPhone to come out. I could also be happily employed for my dream job, cruising the Northwest coast in my suddenly affordable new car.

But when it comes down to it, I'm just not sure what I'll be doing with my life then. And I've learned to be OK with that. Going with the flow is not a bad thing; it's a way to let life happen and explore the adventures that bloom around you. So here are a few relatable pictures to get you through the final year, even when you feel like pulling your hair out. And don't worry, plenty of us are right there with you.

Because finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel doesn't mean you're going to work any harder. It just shows that the end goal is (finally) attainable.

As I said earlier, everyone and their freaking grandmother will ask you this question. Forget about just answering it at holiday parties. You're part-time employer, that guy at the bus station you sometimes talk to, even a stranger you've known for three minutes will ask you. Seriously, why is everyone so obsessed with knowing?

Some of us may be proud of this while others are ashamed, but the truth of this meme is undeniable. It's even applicable to when the teacher completely misinterprets your obviously wrong answer and changes it to a fun, new perspective.

Despite the fact that it feels like this sometimes, you will get through it. You might bomb a Calculus exam or get lower than you hoped on your chemistry midterm, but that's not a reason to give up. Go out with your friends that weekend, cheer up, and study hard on Sunday (and the rest of the week, too). You'll get there.

Lastly, enjoy it. You'll never be able to go back.

Cheers to the senior class!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
