You’ve counted down the moments until your senior year since before you even stepped foot into your high school, but now that you’re well into the semester, reality sinks in. No matter how prepared you think you are to handle these struggles, some of these blind side you. However, with a little perseverance and a lot of Starbucks, we can make it out successfully. For now, here are the 7 struggles of every high school senior:

1. This question haunts your dreams.

No matter how sure I am of my planned profession, the little what if's still cause some second guessing.

2. Part of you is PUMPED!

Like, the acceptance letters can't come quickly enough.

3. But the other part of you is terrified.

*internally screams*

4. Facing the Last ______ Dilemma.

Soon enough it will be the last time: eating spicy chicken patties, jamming the printer in the library, walking building to building in freezing temperatures, etc.

5. You don’t have time to have senioritis when colleges have 3 supplements each.

Whoever told me that senior year was the easiest year, lied.
