45 Thoughts College Students Have The Summer BEFORE Senior Year

I've spent three years in college. That's 1,095 days, 26,280 hours, 6 semesters, 74 credit hours, countless nights studying, a few partying, a regret or two, heartbreaks, friendships, and the absolute best and worst times of my life. That being said, the last three years have been absolutely exhausting, and I cannot WAIT to be done.

...or can I?

As I prepare to enter into my last year of college and eventually venture off into the real world, I can't help but have these thoughts.

1. How can I possibly make it through two more semesters?

2. If I have to take a Friday class, I'm dropping out.

3. Am I graduated yet?

4. What am I doing with my life?

5. My degree is useless. I'm wasting my time.

6. Maybe I can just stay in school...How bad can a doctorate really be?

7. My school is so pretty

8. I can't leave my friends

9. I'm not cut out for the real world

10. Can I still call my mom for help when I graduate?

11. Oh crap, I'll have to actually get a gym membership

12. Why is everyone engaged?!

13. How did I get so old?

14. Paying back student loans should be optional

15. I have to make the most out of this year

16. Can I make it through without buying textbooks?

17. Nope, I still don't know what I'm doing after graduation

18. I'm fine. This is fine.

19. The semester hasn't even started, but I'm still not doing the assigned reading

20. Can I just take yoga all day?

21. How much coffee have I consumed the last three years?

22. Is it too late to find a sugar daddy?

23. What about the lottery?

24. Can I get a redo? I wasn't ready.

25. Wait, adults don't wear leggings every day do they?

26. Am I going to move back home?

27. Does this mean I actually have to start cooking? ... like full meals?

28. How long is it acceptable to keep wearing college apparel?

29. I've still got time

30. Graduation is still a full year away. I don't have to panic yet...

31. ... Does anyone actually know how to do taxes?

32. C's get degrees, right?

33. Maybe my internship will just hire me when the year is up

34. Do I really need to work this summer?

35. I've got like three months. I don't have to worry about school, books, or classes yet.

36. How do the bars stay open when all the students leave?

37. Is it too late to study abroad?

38. At least I'm not a Freshman

39. Will I have to give up naps?

40. You're not an alcoholic until you graduate.

41. Why is everything in the real world so expensive?

42. How long can I keep coming home to steal my parents' food?

43. I love my school.

44. Maybe I can pick up another major?

45. That settles it. I'm never leaving.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
