On Realizing I'm Graduating In A Year

Yes, seniors, I know you are graduating in like two months.

On Realizing I'm Graduating In A Year

Now, I realize seniors will read the title and laugh because they are graduating way sooner than I am. And I am happy about that.

The thought of graduating college in a year is kind of terrifying to me. The real world is approaching and all I can think is "oh my gosh." No more school? What is life even like without school? I'm sure it's amazing but someone who has spent most of her life going to school, it's a really weird thought and something hard to get used to. No more time consuming assignments or midterms to study for...sounds great to me!

But what I will miss is knowing I will always see my friends everyday in class and around campus. We are all so busy with out school lives that it's a hit or miss for hanging outside of class. But, hopefully that means when we are out of college, we will have more time to actually spend time with each other.

Also, people keep asking me what I want to do after I graduate and the answer is I have no clue. I mean, I have two majors for a reason - I can't decide. I hope I am lucky enough to get a great job right out of college and start saving for the ~real world~. But we will see, the future is blurry for me right now so please stop asking because it honestly just makes me over think everything.

Coming into my second semester as a junior, I have realized I am a lot happier because I know I am graduating on time with two majors. That's a freaking feat if you ask me. But, at least I know I am passionate about both of my majors and will be happy with whatever field I end up in.

That is the one answer I do have.

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.
