Heading Into Your Final Semester Of College, As Told By 'Saved By The Bell'
NBC Productions

You are one semester away from graduating. Entering the real world, getting a real job and starting your real life. Though the best seasons of "Saved by the Bell" feature high school antics, they still somehow have the perfect reaction to realizing you're going into your final college semester.

When the email comes through saying you're approved for graduation

And all your friends get it too

Rewarding yourself for 7+ semesters of hard work

Not taking any sh*t from guys at the bars anymore, or even wanting their attention

Cleaning up your social media for potential employers

Coming back from a job interview that you thought went well but from experience you know you'll probably never hear back

Enjoying your last few months of not having to pay for your gym membership

Seeing freshmen dressing up and going out 3 times a weekend and neglecting their studies

Having a few too many girls' nights

Fixing your hair to go to the bar wearing Moccasins and a dirty sweatshirt

But dancing the night away with your friends and not caring one bit what anyone thinks

Jotting down every professional's email at the job fair

Seeing your dream job posted and then seeing it requires 17 years of experience

Endorsing your friends on LinkedIn for proficiency in Microsoft Office

Networking literally everywhere you go so SOMEBODY will be so kind as to offer you a job

Planning your final college spring break

Listening to those unrelated, have-to-take-you-to-graduate-class professors lecture

Hearing underclassmen complain about the campus food that you'd give anything to eat

Seeing new people coming in and taking over your organizations executive teams

Trying to be a different and more professional person on every copy of your resume

Watching Facebook looking for that first "I got the job!" post so you can officially start worrying

When you pass your freshman dorm and realize how quickly time has passed

But then everyone starts talking about all the "lasts" this semester will bring

And even though you're going to miss the hell out of this place and these people...

...You're prepared and excited for what's to come next

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
