The First Week of Senior Year, As Told By Beyonce

Because, sometimes Queen Bey is just SO RELATABLE.

The First Week of Senior Year, As Told By Beyonce

Independent

For many colleges and universities, classes have already begun for the semester, and for college seniors, the first week is one of the best and worst weeks of our lives. And it's pretty difficult to describe that feeling, so I felt like Queen Bey would be better for the job.

When you step back onto campus for the first time:

When the professor tries to keep you the entire hour on syllabus day:

Give me those three pieces of paper, talk about the book I'm NEVER going to buy, and then let's BOUNCE.

When you look at the syllabus for your upper-level course and see that you already have a paper due by the end of the week:

Why, yes, professor. I would LOVE to write a five-page paper to celebrate coming off of a three-month stint of laying around the house every day.

When you find out that you and your best friend are in the same class together:

This feeling is the same whether or not you previously knew if you'd both be taking the class.

How you and that best friend then proceed to act during the whole class period:

By the time you reach senior year, you realize how useless syllabus day is anyways, so you might as well try and find a little bit of enjoyment in the mundane.

When the professor calls on you in class, and you are DEFINITELY wrong:

Look, I'm in this 100-level course so that I could just sit back and glide through for an easy A, please don't expect me to impart my wisdom onto the freshman by participating.

When your adviser asks what your plans are following graduation:

I DON'T KNOW, OKAY? For right now, I'm just trying to get by and making sure I don't fail so that I can get out of here. I'll figure out my plans in April!

When you go to that first house party on Friday night:

Looks don't matter when you're just trying to slam shots of Fireball and forget about the fact that you're going to be forced into the real in just nine short months.

How you feel at the start of the second week when you see freshman freaking out about the upcoming year:

We all kind of feel like the beginning of the year is pretty daunting, but then you see the things freshman worry about, and you realize how much you are capable of in the next year, and that's pretty empowering.

So, here's to the Class of 2017. Let's raise a glass to making this last year f****ng amazing and being the baddest bitches Beyoncé would want us to be.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

You're gonna make it after all.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
