Senior Year as told by The Bachelor

Senior year aka a new season of "The Bachelor."

Senior Year as told by The Bachelor

Senior year of college consists of excessive alcohol consumption, drama, relationships and tears, lots and lots of tears. Sound familiar? If so, you have probably indulged in a season or two of the hit reality tv show "The Bachelor." Much like the whirlwind of emotions contestants on "The Bachelor" face, college seniors embark on a similar journey filled with ups and downs and everything in between. If you have ever watched an episode of "The Bachelor" and are going through senior year depression, you can probably relate to these things:

1. You have a life crisis at least once a week

You'd do anything to go back to Freshman year and do college all over again because in reality, you don't really know what you're going to do with your life after you graduate.

2. When your family asks you what you're going to do when you graduate and this is the best you can come up with..

The only question adults seem to ask you nowadays is what you're going to do when you graduate, so you make up with the most "adult sounding" plan you can and just hope it impresses them.

3. You try to stay as long as you can

Because who doesn't want to be a fifth year freshman? Diploma = Final rose

4. Wine nights have become a daily routine

You've perfected the art of finishing a whole bottle of wine in one sitting trying to drink away the pain of being old and washed up.

5. You're surrounded by gossip, lots and lots of gossip

College isn't as big as it seems.. everyone knows everyone and your business is bound to get around.

6. You meet people that you wish you would have met sooner

Even in the last year of your college career, you are still being introduced to people you have instant connections with. You even meet people you wish could have been your partner in crime tackling college with you since freshman year.

7. Loans...

Much like the loans many of the contestants on "The bachelor" take out for their extravagant gowns, us college seniors have done the same thing but in order to afford that $300 textbook required for our most dreaded class.

8. You're constantly in denial

You are constantly in denial, whether you're in denial about a boy, the amount of effort you put into studying for your exam or the fact that you're graduating this semester. Denial is inevitable.

9. Questions about life constantly haunt you

Grad school, job interviews, debt, moving back home with the parents.. should I continue?

10. But in the end you wouldn't change a thing

Senior year of college can be scary and dreadful, but it is important to remember that you are not alone and to cherish the best four years of your life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
