7 Concerns Every College Student Has Their Junior Year

Entering your junior year of college is a big milestone, you start to think to yourself, "where has the time gone?". Suddenly your life is flashing before your eyes and you feel like it's almost time to become an adult. Freshmen year was the new, exciting year. Sophomore year was not as new, kind of boring, also referred to as the "sophomore slump" and Junior year is so far the semester of worry. I have similar concerns every day and am constantly being asked the same questions, some of them are...

1. What am I doing with the rest of my life

It's okay that you wake up every morning questioning why you haven't transferred home yet, it's normal, you'll get through it.

2. Do I go to grad school, if so, where?

I didn't even graduate yet, how am I supposed to know what I'm doing after that!!

3. Am I going to graduate with enough credits...

Should I take summer or winter classes, how do I go about that.

4. Do I have enough on my resume?

Jobs, clubs, activities, sports, is that going to suffice?

5. Where can I get a job, internship?

There are so many jobs to choose from, where does one begin.

6. Do I even have time for fun, am I allowed to go out?

Sometimes when you've studied for so long, it's time to take a break and go on over to Dark Horse and have yourself a drink. It's good to let loose and have fun before it's to late.

7. I wish it was senior year, but I don't want to graduate!

The struggle between wanting to be done already, but not wanting to enter the big world and become an adult.

If you haven't thought about at least one of these, are you really even a junior?

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
