7 Thoughts Every Senior Has Before Graduation

Thoughts every senior has when they realize that there is less than 50 days left of school before graduation.

All I need to do now, is pass.

When you have already been accepted and decided on a grad school, or figured out the job you’re going to go for after graduation (when you feel like a real adult), or just completely given into the no school no worries life, you have had this thought. Even the best, straight A students have a flicker of apathy near the end. And why shouldn’t you? You can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Life is waiting for you. All you have to do is finish 3 ten page papers, five finals, 2 quizzes and a group project. No big deal.

I mean, I don’t really have to do that homework assignment… right??

Yeah! Don’t worry about it. Go get a drink! Lay out on the beach! You deserve it! You worked hard for the last four years for this. Taco Tuesday? OF COURSE. Homework…schmomework.

It’s super weird that I’ll probably never see any of these people again in my life

I mean, I got weirdly attached to the strange seatmates I had in gen-ed classes. I might miss the people who work in the cafeteria who know how badly I eat every Tuesday and Thursday morning and still greet me with a smile without judging me (at least not out loud.. for all I know they could be saying ‘Ew, that girl is so gross’ and I would have no idea, and I would not care).

I am so proud of myself

I am graduating college. I am such a big deal. Life is going well. All I have to worry about is making sure my shoes look fly-AF when walking and I don’t trip and fall like my cousin did last year. That was embarrassing. *hair flip*

Cap and gowns cost HOW MUCH!?

Man, graduating is so expensive. Of course the culmination of all my student loans and hard work are paying off with a fattie bill of a couple g’s for a large non-fitted piece of ultra-scratchy fabric that is unbecoming on everyone. Don’t even get me started on the pizza box ‘hats’.

OMG I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT MY LIFE NOW

Wait, so I was just planning on traveling the world and bartending after I graduate. Is that not an adult thing to do? Do I really have to get one of those adult-jobs people talk about?

Who cares? I’m a senior! Time to celebrate!

Drinks anyone?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
