I Have The 'Senior Year Of College' Blues Because I Don't Know How To Become An Adult

In high school, I couldn't wait to leave and I was so ready to get out of there. Most referred to that as senioritis and man did I have the worst of it.

I worked insanely hard to graduate from college in four years, I switched universities and majors, took hours of summer classes to be able to stay on that four year track.

Now, I have one more year left of college and I'm starting to feel those senior year blues.

In high school, I couldn't wait to leave and I was so ready to get out of there. Most referred to that as senioritis and man did I have the worst of it.

I am having the exact opposite feeling as I am about to go into my senior year of college.

I'm starting to have all of these questions:

How does one actually "adult"?

I am convinced that no one ever really figures this one out and that we all just pretend like we know what we are doing and hope that nothing catches "fire"

How do I pay bills?

Are all the bills due at the same time? Where do I get the money to pay all these bills? Does water actually cost that much money?

Yeah I still don't know the answer to any of those but yes water does actually cost that much.

Whats a budget?

I actually learned how to make a budget in one of my event planning classes, however, I never implemented one in my life and now I use my debt card like a gift card and just pray that there is money on it.

Last question,

Do you actually need all of this furniture?

I am moving into my apartment in about 5 days and I am astounded at how much furniture I don't have and how much I actually need. I'm half tempted to get lawn chairs and set them up in the living room and call it a day.

Would make moving out a hell of a lot easier.

All of these questions have been causing me some major anxiety about growing up and if I'm ready for it. Maybe I'll just have to go for a victory lap...

Probably won't, but wish me luck as fake my way through being an adult this year.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
