11 Graduation Thoughts That Constantly Run Through Your Head When You're Graduating Early

Graduating a semester early is something that many college students decide to do. While the percentage of students graduating early varies from school to school, there's one thing that all college students graduating early share: "Am I sure?" We have a million thoughts running through our heads every second.

1. What am I going to do after I graduate?

Giphy

They always say major doesn't equal career. But what the heck do I want for my career? What do I want to do with my life? I only have so much time left to figure it out!

2. Omg these job applications though

Giphy

Job applications all ask the same questions... over... and over... and over. Why can't they just auto-fill in my responses. God knows I've filled out like 30+ applications already.

3. Maybe I’ll just push graduation back a semester

Giphy

Well... if I fail this class I can push back graduation at least another semester. Then I would have more time to figure out what I want to do and spend a little more time in college before going into the real world 100%.

4. No I’m poor I need to graduate

Giphy

However, I actually have zero dollars in my bank account to pay for any more rent or tuition. Not to even mention the countless bills I have to pay for college crap.

5. Where am I comfortable moving?

Giphy

There's an opportunity in the middle of Nebraska? I've never been there. How about Wisconsin? How many hours would I have to spend on the road to visit my closest relative?

6. Is it time to just drink away my worries?

Giphy

It's five o'clock somewhere right? Senior year means all the stress and none of the fun. How else are we supposed to make it through?

7. Senior year, don't care

Giphy

I don't care if Kappa Apple Pi has a big scandal. I've got an exam in two days but catch me at Mid instead. SYFI. #iykyk

8. Wow I’m gonna miss this place

Giphy

I'm going to miss all the little nuances of my semi-small college town. The cute brunch places, the things only college students do, all my friends, football, etc...

9. Wait... no I’m not

Giphy

On the other hand... I hate crowded bars and little freshman boys. Nevermind I am definitely ready to move on.

10. My last __________

Giphy

My last first day of school... my last football game... my last date function... this is all so weird.

11. How did time go by so fast?

Giphy

It's time??? Already??? How did we get here? I guess it's time to move on and decide what I'm going to do with the rest of my life now.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
