Because, apparently, we can't ignore reality forever.

8 Reactions To Graduation Posts
Her.ie

Graduation season is upon us once again, and even though it feels like just yesterday that I was saying goodbye to high school, every time I open my Facebook or Instagram, I'm overwhelmed with graduation posts. Sappy captions, graduation photos, and perfectly detailed plans for the future clutter up my internet browser history and, as a sophomore with no clue what I'm doing, it makes me feel new levels of stressed out.

1. "When did I become old enough to have friends that are real adults?"

As far as I remember, I'm still 12, right?

2. "What am I going to do with my major?"

Sure, it's my passion and I can't imagine doing anything else -- but I also don't want to be homeless/starving.

3. "Does anyone else feel as terrified about their future as I do?"

So are we all just going to keep acting like we're cool with all this responsibility? Am I the only one who still isn't completely sure how to boil water?

4. "What if all my friends move away and I'm left alone?"

Why can't we just keep living five minutes away from each other forever?

5. "Does this mean that people my age are going to start getting married and having children soon?"

The realization that wedding invitations will soon be filling up my life/fridge door seems too overwhelming to be reality.

6. "Why does everyone keep asking me what I'm doing after graduation?"

I still have two full years! Can I live?!

7. "But really...what am I going to do after graduation?"

I've already done the college application process once, but finding a job feels just as daunting.

8. "Why is everyone so much more put together than I am?"

But deep down, you know that everyone feels just as unsure as you do.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
