Ah, senior year. The best school year out of your college experience.

1. Coffee has become as vital as your blood and every other living organ.

It has probably become the first thing you think about when you wake up, and you could drink it morning, noon, and night.

2. When every seat is taken in the library by people who aren't library regulars.

No, no no. You don't get to stroll in here and take the best desk in the quiet section like it wasn't someone's unofficial reserved desk for the last several months.

3. Realizing you're getting farther away from your parents hold on you.

I am twenty-one years old. I am independent. I am practically a fully grown adult. You can't tell me how to live!...But wait, before I leave, can you make me sandwich, mom?

4. Friday rolls around and you can't wait to be irresponsible.

It's the weekend. I do not know anything about action potentials and what direction they travel in. I don't want to think about work until 8 o'clock on Sunday when I have procrastinated the minimum amount that is acceptable.

5. That moment when you lie in bed at night thinking of your highly stressful week you have ahead.

I need to do 3 papers, make a presentation, find a job, make $1 million and lose weight by 2:30 on Tuesday. Cool.

6. Explaining to underclassmen how you can possibly stay alive and do school work all while going out several times in a week.

It takes a lot of practice, hangovers, and headaches to be this godlike.

7. Someone asks you, "What do you okay on doing next year?"

It is almost always some relative that asks this question, and you never have a definitive answer for this. You just hope that you can slip away from the conversation without them noticing.

8. Late night feelings.

It's midnight which means a late night run to the closest Wawa, Sheetz or other convenience store. Maybe even an iHop. Either way, it means cheaply priced greasy, fast foods to soothe your anxiety.
