The Three Things That Scare me About Graduating

No more all nighters in the lib or walking to class in below freezing temperatures! Graduating is right around the corner and so exciting, but these three things make me nervous about entering the adult world.

One: Not Getting Enough Exercise


I've recently become a bit of a gym rat. Between classes you can find me biking or using the elliptical. After classes I'm usually lifting weights or going to a HIIT class, even without all of this, I usually walk around 3 miles a day just to get to and from class. I'm SO nervous that a 9 to 5 job sitting at a desk is going to tack on a lot of extra weight. I feel like after a long day of work it takes a lot of dedication to get into the gym. Maybe I need to find something like Cyclebar to hold me accountable.


This being said, I love fitness classes, so if anyone has any suggestions similar to Cyclebar, let me know! I used to go to Planet Fitness, but I really like the class setting.


Two: Finding my Own Health Insurance


I've been pretty independant since I started my college career, paying for my car insurance and payment, rent, phone plan, etc. So I would say I have a decent handle on managing my money, but the idea of finding my own health insurance and finding which one is best for me terrifies me. Not only finding one, but does it have everything I need? I've been going to the same dentist since I was six, what if my new insurance doesn't cover them? Stress.

Three: Moving Away From my Best Friends


The last four years have been spent around some of the best, most uplifting people in the world. One of my best friends is going abroad, one out west, even the others will be "close" at only 5 hours away. I am constantly surrounded by people my age with common interests now, and I'm so scared I won't be as happy without having that. I know I can continue my relationships with them, but I know it would be the same.

What am I going to do without watching The Bachelor every Monday??

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
