10 Realizations You Have About Being More Than Halfway Through College, As Told By Jessica Day

You're graduating less than a year from now? Shut your face...

1. You realize you have to make an appointment with career services

You really thought you could figure out what you want to do with your life on your own, but you can't.

2. You hear other people say they're graduating early (and feeling ready to) 

Giphy

You, on the other hand, don't even feel like you'll be ready to graduate after a normal four years.

3. You realize maybe your calling is to drop out and be a stripper!

Giphy

Nah, you actually really want to use your Communications major.

4. You're suddenly nostalgic about everything that's happened to you the last two and a half years (good and bad) 

Giphy

You kind of wish you could relive it all.

5. You feel a sudden burst of energy to work on your resume 

Giphy

You'll never be perkier and more prepared to work than you are today.

6. You feel the need to "dance out" all your woes

Giphy

Shake it off.

7. You realize you may need to get better at communicating, to, you know, fulfill your major's requirements

Giphy

Hell yeah!

8. You start convincing yourself of all the ways you've grown since starting college

Giphy

You're so fun! And college did that to you!

9. You think back to your dorkier, darker times...

Giphy

High school you? You don't know her. Or remember her.

10. And realize you're on the right path to adulthood 

Giphy

Woot!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break.

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?
