Everything To Know For Your Junior Year Of College
The Odyssey

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.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
