The Last Semester Of College Is A Big Dumpster Fire Of Emotions

In two days I will walk into my 10:30 a.m. class, sit down, listen to my professor go over the syllabus, and officially begin my last semester of college.

College was not like high school for me. I didn't want it to go fast or to end. I'm not eager to "get out there in the real world" and "become an adult" like I was when I packed up and moved into my freshman dorm at UCF. Because now, I actually have to become an adult - not a half-adult living in a world where I have the pleasure of enjoying the freedoms with no financial responsibility. Now, it's real.

However, while I am terrified, I am more excited than ever. There's something thrilling about having no idea where I will be living in four months. Will it be my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio? Near my parents in Naples, Florida? With my boyfriend in Ft. Lauderdale? Or somewhere else? As of now, I am clueless. My only plan is to accept a job offer that allows me to use my skills in photography and videography - hopefully in sports - but I'm not going to be too picky. That's if I get any job offers at all.

This last semester is going to be rough. Not only because I am taking 18 credit hours and interning at the Golf Channel 20 hours a week, but also because it will be emotionally draining. Finding the time to excel in all of my roles and courses as well as make the most out of my last semester and go out with a bang is going to be hard. Really hard.

But I know I can do it. I have four months to enjoy the privileges I have as a college student until I'm hustling just to pay rent as a journalist post-graduation. And I need to make it the best four months yet.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
