I'm sure many people are feeling how I am right now. Annoyed. Sad. Angry. Many other emotions that have all just come together to form disbelief. One of my close friends from high school is a senior this year, she has more than enough reason to be sad and upset her senior year being possibly ruined. She talked to me about how Prom was probably going to get cancelled and her second semester of senior year was just over. I envy her for having her senior year be taken in this way, because if this had happened to me last year I would have been fine. I mean don't get me wrong I would be pissed off, but at least all my friends would be thirty minuets or less away. All my classes as a second semester senior were so easy and I didn't have the motivation to go to school anyways at this point last year.

I have always lived in the same town, I always wanted to leave. But once I had moved in to my first dorm I was set to not have to move more than ten minuets away from campus. First semester I struggled a lot with making friends and finding out how to "do college" I don't think anyone has that answer though. My roommate and I did not get a long and I was constantly uncomfortable in my room. A week before thanksgiving I got approved to move across the street. It was best thing that could have happened, I was put into a suite with five really amazing girls. It took some time for me to really build a connection with them but once second semester rolled around we were getting along like we had been friends for ever.

My suite-mates are some of my closest friends that I have made in college. There are many reasons I am sad to not be living with them anymore but one of the major reasons is the support that we all gave each other in the room. If someone was having a bad day we would listen to each others rants, if one of us was at a tinder boys house we would wait up for the other to come home, when we all went out together we would make sure each person got to their desired location safely. I have heard people say "I'm going to miss the frat party's" or "How and I supposed to flirt with boys with online classes" and trust me I am saying the same thing. But the people I have gotten to live with for the past almost four months are going to be what I miss the most from having to move off campus. I am not sure what I am going to with all of them being around three hours away.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
