Being a second semester senior is no walk in the park. While the school work keeps piling in, your motivation decreases by the minute. In addition, you can’t decided whether you are ready to be an adult or are sad about leaving college behind. Here are some struggles of being a second semester senior as told by our favorite Pawneean Leslie Knope.


1. Any energy you once had for focusing on your grades is diminishing rapidly with each passing moment and you find that even finishing a small assignment takes more effort than ever.


2. Since you are now a twenty-something, you are learning that you can no longer go out two nights a week without it seriously impacting your life.


3. You know that the start of your career is right around the corner which makes accepting that you’re still a broke college student that much harder. Bitter city party of one!


4. Despite being older and wiser, you still procrastinate each and every assignment and hate yourself because of it.


5. You realize that you are in classes with people who were born in 1997 and you must deal with the fact that they practically view you as a senior citizen at this point.


6. You have friends that are already in the workforce and are moving to cool new places, while you are still in the stage of your life in which Taco Bell makes for an acceptable dinner and sweatpants constitute appropriate daily apparel.


7. You are on an emotional rollercoaster due to wanting to maintain your GPA while being completely over school and also realizing that you need at least a C in your classes to receive your diploma.


8. You have come to learn that drinking wine is one of life’s most beautiful pleasures and shall not be wasted.


9. You feel as though you should leave the college junk food lifestyle behind but aren't fully ready to commit to a healthy diet just yet.



10. On top of mounting school work, you are either searching for a job or an internship that will most likely begin as soon as you graduate.


11. As excited as you are to begin your career, you can’t help but feel a little sad to be leaving college and entering for adult world FOR REAL.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
