8 Signs You Are About To Be A Senior In College

Just yesterday we were all moving into our freshman dorms and trying to work up the courage to introduce ourselves to the people living next to us. We were saying bye to our parents and figuring out how we would survive on our own. We were the small freshman walking around the campus trying to find our classes and not make a total fool of ourselves during that first day. Where did the time go? How are we already going to be seniors? How is this our last year? Is there a remind button we can hit to go back to the beginning of the past three years?

Here’s 8 signs you are about to be a senior in college:

1. It’s scary to think about the last chapter of college.

It hard to say, but it’s the beginning of the end. After senior year, we will be getting jobs, having to do adult things, and for some, starting families. I don’t know how this will work when sometimes I accidentally sleep through my 8 a.m….Sorry to my future employer.


2. But you’re really excited for senior year parties.

This is the year where everyone will officially be 21 and everyone can go to bars and clubs all together. No more underage drinking for all you seniors!


3. You are rushing to find a summer internship.

It’s getting down to the wire, hurry up and get that internship before it’s too late.

Do you want to stay an extra year?


4. Everyone keeps asking what you want to do after college.

Why does everyone keep asking what I want to do after I graduate? I don’t even know what I want to eat for lunch today. The struggle is real all the time.


5. You are starting to feel old.

We all love to go through pictures...looking at those freshman year pictures you realize you aren’t that little 18-year-old anymore. So much has happened in these past three years and we are starting to feel like old people now.


6. You’ve already caught Senioritis.

I’m not saying I want to get a zero on my business final, but after calculations I can still get a B in the class even without taking the final. So I should just skip it, right?


7. You have that core friend group.

Senior year is here and you have that set friend group you can go to for anything and everything. Thank God it’s not like freshman year anymore, where you had to try to find and make friends.


8. Regardless how scared you are, you know this year will be in the record books.

No matter how scared we all are and say we aren’t ready…. The Class of 2017 is ready to take on Senior year and show who’s in control. This class is going to go down in history.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
