Ah, senior year. You've been preparing for this since your acceptance letter. After semesters and semesters of crazy dorm mates, hard tests, and crazy nights, you're finally ready to move on to bigger and better things. You're in the home stretch! You only have a few classes left and you're absolutely ready to graduate.

Being a senior in college is a monumental time in your life. You're so close to getting out into the great big world. Although senior year is always fun, sometimes it's hard to make it through the last few semesters you have. Senioritis is real. After a while, you get tired of going to class, doing mindless discussion boards and writing research papers.

If you're hitting a wall, here are some tips to get you through it.

1. Your planner is your best friend

Always write down dates for graduation deadlines.

2. Create a bucketlist 

Leaving all your friends behind is hard, the fear of missing out is ever harder. Make sure to create bucket list for all of your senior activities.

3. Make friends with your professors

First, professors have a lot to teach us. Second, recommendations for jobs and graduate studies are so important.

4. Take care of yourself 

Senior can be stressful, so it's important to create good habits for the rest of your life.

5. Enjoy it 

It's your last semester until the real world, enjoy it while you can.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is.
