A New Journey Ahead: Life After Graduation

In just a few months, some of us will have a degree under our belt. A bachelors in English, communications, biology, archeology, music, education, and more. With hard work and dedication, our majors and minors will help us obtain careers and do things that we were meant to do. Our time in college will be missed but not forgotten. The late night study sessions. The movie nights with our friends. The dinners at our favorite hangouts. The happy hours after a long day of classes. The meetings for all of the clubs or groups we were part of. We will leave between friends that won't graduate until May or even the next few years. We will also leave behind people who have taught us and enlighten us on our fields of study. These professors have been important influences during our college careers. However, again, we will still have these memories to remember and look back upon.

Some of us already have plans after we graduate while some of us don't. It's ok. There is still time. You don't have to start "adulting" until after December 18. Life will be different. New expectations will arise. New adventures as college gradates. We will become working class adults. We won't have that 2 hour Netflix break after class. We probably won't have our best friends living next store. Therefore, we should appreciate the time we have as seniors, or even super seniors, to enjoy our last few months of college.

Some of us may be anxious to get out into the "real" world to discover ourselves. Or some may be scared to begin a new chapter in our lives. Just remember, it will take time to adapt to these things. Everything will fall in place eventually.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

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. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
