It's definitely as scary as everyone says it is.

Senior Year: As Told By GIF's
The Consummated Dabbler

Beginning college is a scary process; you move away from home, have to make new friends and start planning your future. Finishing college, however, is downright terrifying. You are no longer simply planning for the future, but you are about to enter said future. You have to start thinking about grad school, where you will live when you graduate and where you want to jumpstart your career. To make a stressful situation more entertaining, let's go through the stages of your senior year of college.

When you realize this is probably the last time you'll move back into your apartment

From moving in to your dorm freshman year to moving in to different apartments, it may have been a hassle but it's sad when you don't have that to look forward to anymore.

And that your classes are going to get a lot more challenging.

You're taking senior-level classes now that probably require a lot more outside-work and studying, and you actually have to learn everything you're being taught because you'll be using it.

But hopefully, they finally have something to do with your major,

Thankfully, you aren't taking freshman and sophomore-level core classes so you can get interested in your classes and learn how to apply them to your jobs.

Of which you might still be iffy about.

Because who really knows which track to take?

Then, someone asks you "what exactly do you want to do with your life?

Well..

And you can't give them a better answer than "I don't know."

Does anyone have a legitimate idea of what they want to do with their lives?

So that leads to an existential crisis

And you cry a lot.

And you start considering law school or medical school

Even though it's a lot of extra school.

Because of course you can be like Meredith Grey and Annalise Keating!

A world-class surgeon and a hardcore lawyer are pretty attainable jobs, right?

When you decide what to do when you graduate, it feels like a weight has lifted off your shoulders.

And you can breathe for once!

You can finally try to enjoy your last year, while fitting in homework and studying,

I mean, you have to make memories while you're trying to get some high-class job.

And ultimately, it was one of the best experiences of your life.

From random road trips and concerts to friendships and connections, the hard years were definitely worth it.

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.
