1. You start to wonder if you're truly old now.
GiphyYour twenties have arrived, and with them comes the realization that you'll 1) graduate in two years, and 2) be thirty in ten years. You can't help but feel like it all goes downhill from here.
2. The fact that your life needs to start getting itself together terrifies you.
GiphyInternships, real jobs, relationships, money: somehow quite of bit of these categories have to be together before you go out into the real world, and that's scary. Maybe you should take that fifth year to sort things out.
3. Going out is getting more and more infrequent, and you're honestly fine with that.
GiphyWithin two years, frat parties went from being the most exciting and fun events ever to being smelly, sweaty, and filled with freshmen. A wine night with your roommates may be more your speed now, and that's okay with you; leave the red solo cups for the freshies.
4. School is getting harder, but you're enjoying it more.
GiphyYou're so grateful that you don't need to be taking general math, science, or English classes anymore. Now, classes are smaller and actually have to do with your major. They may be more challenging, but they're definitely more enjoyable.
5. You have a solid group of friends but you're constantly meeting new people.
GiphyThe two years you've been in school have introduced you to some of your closest friends, but that doesn't mean that you're done making friends. Two more years are to come and new friends could come from anywhere.
6. You're shocked by how fast two years went by.
GiphySeriously, you were just a freshman moving into your dorm five minutes ago, and now you're a junior? How do years move that fast?
7. Because of that, you appreciate every moment even more than you did before.
GiphyThere is nothing like college: living minutes away from your friends, going out on a Monday night, and feeling carefree. Being halfway through this unique experience makes you appreciate the years you've had and the years to come.
