Being 22 and sitting next to 18 year olds is an interesting feeling when it comes to being in a freshman level class. While you're questioning your sanity, so are the little freshman around you as they ask you what you are even doing there. Here is a list of 10 things a college senior thinks to themselves as they sit in a sea of freshman.
1. What am I doing here?
Still not sure why I chose to take this class.
2. Why did I wait this long to take this class?Why didn't i just take this class freshman year like a normal student? Oh yeah, procrastination.
3. Why does my advisor hate me?Why didn't my advisor tell me I needed this class to graduate? Do they really hate me that much? LMK
4. Is my TA the same age as me?I'd bet $10 my teaching assistant and I are the same age. Hell, I might even be older.
5. Why do the freshman look scared of me?When they look like you like you have 9 heads or snakes for hair.
6. Why do these freshman look older than me?Why do I look 12 and they look 25?
7. If I don’t get an A, I’ll cry.I'm a senior taking a 1,000 level class. If I cant pass this class i needed to drop out like yesterday.
8. I need a drink.I need a drink and guess what i'm the only one who can legally have a drink in the room.
9. I can’t even think the boys in my class are cute because they're so young.The fact that there is a 4 year age difference is like me dating my little brother and that's just weird.
10. This is the only class keeping me from graduating; let’s ride.Maybe i'll just pack wine in my swell bottle to make it through the year. Graduation here I come.
These are thoughts I have everyday as i sit in my freshman baby biology class. Two weeks down, a hell of a lot more to go. Wish me luck people.
