Your junior year of college is easily the most stressing years of your education. Not only do you have to keep your GPA up, you also have to make sure everything is going to be okay once you graduate. But just know that you are not alone. Every junior has similar experiences, and here are a few!
1. Class Rings
Pretty much every junior gets a class ring, and there is always the struggle of what metal do you want (or which one can you afford) or what do you want on it. Every junior has this issue, so just know that you aren't alone.
2. The Grad School Decision
Nowadays, it's almost impossible to do some kind of quality career without having a master's degree. You usually have to take your junior year and decide whether or not you want to do it, or even what you are going to do with it.
3. Internships
At this point, you pretty much have to have an internship to be anybody on campus. You are basically expected to fit in a job, school, homework, internship and sleep into your work week at this point.
4. Senior Thesis
You have probably started to think about what you want to write about for your senior thesis, or whatever the equivalent is for your major. The point is, you are ready, but you also know you have a reservoir of tears built up for it.
5. Major and Minor Credits
You have to make sure that you will be able to graduate on time with your degree. Whether you have multiple or just the one, you have to make sure that you've taken all of the required classes or are on track to.
