Preparing for Graduation, As Told by 'Shameless'
NBC

For all of my fellow soon-to-be graduates, you know the struggle of having to consider what comes next in your life. Here are the stages leading up to that dreaded yet exciting day.

1. "Is it March already?"

Time flies when you're having fun...and by fun I mean stressing over thesis and midterms.


2. "Should I start looking for a job?"

The choice is yours, but at least this way you can have more time to get used to rejection emails.


3. "What if I don't actually graduate?"

Where there's a will there is a way...although that will is hard to find.


4. "How am I going to keep in touch with all my friends?"

Frank may not have friends, but you do and all you have to do is set aside time to make visits and keep in touch.


5. "I JUST WANT TO SLEEP."

Living your best life sure is tiring.


6. "I JUST WANT TO PARTY."

Sometimes you just need a night out with your friends to remember how amazing college really is.


7. "I better make the most of these next two months."

Now is the time to make as many memories as possible and take advantage of every opportunity.


8. "Where the hell am I going to live?"

These are the types of questions that will keep you up at night.


9. "How do I do adult things?"

I don't know how to do taxes or apply for an apartment, but I do have an overpriced textbook on philosophy that I looked at once.


10. "I'm not ready for this at all."

If Sheila can leave the house, you will find a way to make it through.


11. "Alright, I can do this."

You've had four years to prepare for this, you're ready!


12. "I'm out."


Graduation is coming, whether you want it to or not.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
