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.

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.
