7 Things Every College Senior Needs To Hear

If you're reading this then there's a good chance you're going through exactly what I am. Senior year of college. Did you ever think this year would come? Neither did I. When you think back to when you unlock your dorm room door for the very first time, the last thing on your mind is "I can already imagine senior year." Four years may seem like a long period of time, but it's not trust me. But if you're like me, then you've definitely experienced those days and nights when you serious weigh the pros and cons of dropping out. We've all been there. It may seem impossible to finish at different point in your college career, but if you keep your eye on then you will make it. But that's not to say you don't need a little encouragement every now and then. So here's a few thoughts of inspiration.

If you made it this far, you're doing great. Let's be real if you're a senior in college, you got this. You're basically done. The important thing is that you're here.

It's okay if you're not done after this year. You may be a senior that's heading into their super senior year and that's totally fine. It takes a little longer for some people and there's nothing to be ashamed about that. You're achievement is the same.

You will find a job after graduation. There's so much stress in this day and age to find a job that you can make a living off of. Stop worrying, you will. It may not be within your area of study right away but you will find a job and you will work your way up the ladder until you're exactly where you want to be. It'll happen.

It's okay if you didn't find love. Sometimes there can be a lot of pressure and expectation that you'll find your true love at college. Maybe not your true love but at least a love. You meet a lot of people in college, but just imagine how many more people you'll meet outside of college. Maybe you found love for two months, maybe two years, and maybe not at all, but the bottom line is, don't stress.

Just keep swimming (or studying). You're so close to being done. Keep your head above the water and take each day at a time.

It's okay to party until graduation. It's normal to party. Have fun while you're still in college. Just because you're a senior now doesn't mean you should stop partying. Yeah, it may get a little old. But only stop because it get old. Don't stop because you feel like you shouldn't because you're a senior.

You'll figure it out. During your last few months of college you have a lot to figure out, but you will figure it out. You'll find a job, you'll find a place to live, you'll make it as an adult. Yes, you should be thinking about it, but don't stress.

It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of senior year. I mean, you should be excited, but just remember that you need to put in just a little bit more effort and then you enter the real world.

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.
