Being a Fifth Year as Told by 'Veep'

Rolling through your college town past the four year mark is like watching "The Bachelor" without wine—it just doesn't feel right. Being a fifth year comes with its perks, sure, but it just isn't the same. Not having your best friends with you every step of the way, being absurdly over Greek life and rolling your eyes as you download yet another syllabus. On the flip side, college is awesome. Victory lap, here we come.

When you try to tell yourself that you're going to be fine without your friends this year.

When you wake up after a night out I and realize you aren't as young as you once were.

When your employed friends try to tell you to stop complaining about school work.

When an underclassman mistakes you for a freshman.

When you realize you have four more months of blissful unemployment.

When you're just done with being a college student.

When you finally get to graduate!

I would like to leave you with an inspirational quote from one of the most profound movies of our time.

" Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight." — Billy Madison

Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
