6 Things That Happen In Your Last Month Of College

Ah, sweet sweet college. Between all the friends you make, all the parties you go to and all the school sponsored events you attend- it's hard to imagine what you're going to do next year without it all. As you begin to descend into your final month of college, you start to think about all those things that will fill those college voids so ...


1. You panic.

You begin to think about all those things past your diploma: you need a job, you need a place to live, and new friends in this new place? Forget it, your emotions are high and you don't want to even think about anything in your perfect little college bubble having to change.

2. You cry.

This and your "panic" stage go hand-and-hand. You cry because that job you want so badly hasn't called you back. You cry because the thought of leaving your friends and roommates is unbearable. You cry because no one is going to be able to understand you like your friends and your roommates. And let's be honest, sometimes you even cry at the thought of a 40-hour work week next year instead of sleeping until 11 o'clock.

3. You eat at all your favorite local restaurants, as much as possible.

Scenario 1: You're moving away and you won't be able to get that famous townie burger when you're hungry after studying on a random Wednesday night.

Scenario 2: Between trying to balance all the going out you're making sure you get in before graduation and all the studying you have to do to make sure you pass your classes before graduation ... grocery shopping well, isn't an option.

4. You begin to take an obscene number of pictures.

It's your last month (panic again). You need to remember how fun your college experience was, so you start snapping like crazy. Yeah, there's that one friend who will constantly get annoyed because she feels like she's always taking the picture instead of being in it, but hey, you need to remember this, it'll be interesting in twenty years, instead of telling stories to our kids about college, we'll be showing them our saved snap stories.

5. You, shockingly, put your Netflix show on the back burner.

Crazy, right?! You never thought you'd be able to pull yourself away from that cliff-hanging episode of Grey's Anatomy but here you are. The weather is getting nicer, the days are getting longer, and you are (*panic*) running out of days to be a college delinquent, for lack of better words.

6. You cherish the little moments.

The little moments, ya know. Like when you're at lunch with some of your closest friends and you realize how lucky you are to have them in your life. Or when you're out at a party and you stop and think, "Man, I'll never be this young and free again." College has a funny way of teaching us some of our biggest life lessons, helping us overcome some of our biggest struggles, and really putting life into perspective.

College, I'll miss ya man. It was a fun ride.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
