Senior Year Of College As Told By Cartoons

Just wait, wait one second.

Has it been four years already?

It is senior year already, and you want to try and act like an adult, but you are also thinking this is the last chance you will get to act like a college student, while still actually being in college. If you're like me, this is your third semester as a senior and you are here for your victory lap. We can act all adult like and put together (for the most part) during the week, but weekends are free game. As a part of me still holds onto what it is like being a kid before I go into the real world, here is Senior Year of College as told by cartoons.

1. When people ask you what your plans are after graduation

Ask me in a few months... things are kind of stressful right now.

2. When applying for graduate school or jobs

This is so overwhelming, why are there so many options.

3. Coming home after a long day of internship

Sleep, I need sleep.

4. When people try to give you advice

Sorry, it's not personal I just can't with you right now.

5. When you get to class a few minutes late but the professor already locked the door

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be late, it was my alarms fault. PLEASE!

6. When the stress starts catching up with you

Breathe, in... out... in... out...

7. And the stress eating starts catching up with you

It's just a few extra pounds, it's not that noticeable... right?

8. SENIOR PICTURES! CAP AND GOWN PHOTOS! GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS!

So much to do, so little time to do it.

9. But you always have that one way of dealing with everything

PUPPIES fix everything, they can kiss away my sorrows.

10. Maybe there are two ways to fix anything

or chocolate, candy, ice cream, sweets in general.

11. Or even three ways...

Alcohol fixes anything that ails you - whether you pour it on you, or in you.

12. Having class or internship after a crazy weekend

If I just smile everyone will think I am not dying inside.

12. Tackling Senior Seminar/Capstone like

HELL YEAH BABY!

13. When the professor says there's no exam for this class

If I could bottle a rainbow to show my appreciation and give it to you, I would.

14. When it's finally graduation day

The moment we have all been waiting for, we are finally free...but then we realize that loans are going to start coming in and other adult bills, and if all that wasn't enough we have to leave behind our home from the last 4 years and it sucks.

15. When it finally hits you that you have to move away from all your college friends and this part of your life is over...

We have all been here, and if you haven't yet, don't worry because your time is coming.
College summed up:

We are the bear and the universities are the panda... I think you get it.

"I can see now the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." -Mewtwo (Pokemon)

College, in general, is gonna be some of the best and hardest times of your life. Senior year specifically will be hard when it comes to letting go, final (final) projects and having to move away and start over again after graduation. It happens to the best of us. Whether it takes you 4 years, 5 years and for some even 6 years, no matter how long it takes, it will be the best time of your life. The ups and downs and everything in between. We live and we learn and when one door closes another one opens.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
