15 Erratic Thoughts Of A Graduating Senior
The Huffington Post

Attention: Graduating Seniors

As the midpoint in the semester hits, so does the grim reality. It won't be long until the windup of your undergrad college career. Exciting, but terrifying. Relieving, yet stressful. It's entirely natural to be upset to move on and afraid of what may lie ahead. But you're not alone. You share the same erratic thoughts as the majority of graduating seniors, most of which begin like this:

How the f*** is it spring break already?!

Did I really just finish my last midterm ever?

I FINISHED MY LAST MIDTERM EVER!

But now it's my last spring break ever...

Adults don't get spring breaks.

I'm not ready to adult.

*Considers changing spring break destination from Cancun to Neverland*

*Gets wasted instead to temporarily make the pain of growing up go away*

If one more person asks me what my post graduation plan is...

No, I don't have one.

Yes, I know exactly how I'm decorating my graduation cap.

No, I still don't have a job lined up after graduation.

Please hire me. Someone...anyone?

But how am I moving back home after this?

Sorry mom and dad, but really?

Curfew?! What am I, fourteen?

*Puts years towards getting a college degree only to end up back in my childhood bedroom*

*Cringes at the increased odds of running into former high school classmates around town*

*Cringes harder at the thought of paying back loans*

But I don't even have a job yet...

If I fail one class can I postpone graduating?

Half kidding, half not.

Half ecstatic, half not ready to move past the "best four years of my life" stage.

Do it for the graduation money!

Do it for the insta!

Do it because you've come way too far to not flaunt that piece of paper you slaved years over earning. Now stop overthinking the inevitable and start making the most out of these final few months of college. I needn't explain how fast they'll go...

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
