So you're a senior. And you have just began your second semester. You are pretty happy about it because the light at the end of the tunnel is in full view. But, you have noticed some distinct changes between now and last semester. You dress differently, you act differently. It's like a completely different school year, altogether.

Doing work:

First semester: I have 20 supplements to write, I made a schedule and I'm going to do 4 each day and edit them in my sleep, I'll get it all done and have time to do all my school work too.

Second semester: How much work can I ignore before I get kicked out of school.

Getting to school on time:

First semester: I would go in late so that I can get some work done in the morning, but I can’t because then I’ll fall behind in that class.

Second semester: I’m sleeping in today. Again.

Being at school

First semester: Walking around like you own the place.

Second semester: Walking around like you own the place.

Getting asked about college

First semester: Don’t ask unless you want a 2-hour-long explanation followed by an emotional breakdown.

Second semester: Either you know and you can’t wait, or you’re waiting to here. Either way, you’re much calmer.

Clothes

First semester: I have somehow managed to wear real clothes for weeks.

Second semester: is 4 days of wearing sweatpants too much for one week?

Study Hall

First semester: I wrote an entire novel series in 42 minutes.

Second semester: 5 minutes of work is too much, I’ll just sit here.

Leaving

First semester: You are so ready to be done.

Second semester: You’re getting a little nostalgic. Even if you won’t admit it.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
