18 Thoughts Every Senior Has In College
theroot.com

I have been asked many questions a lot this summer: "So how do you feel that you going to be a senior?" "What do you want to do with your life?" "Have you learned anything beneficial in your classes?" My favorite is "are you going to miss college once you graduate?"

The questions are endless; I just haven't really had time to think about it until well.... now. I truly can not believe among my fellow peers who all started college in 2013 that we will in fact be graduating seniors. I guess those that this applies to are the ones that are on track of classes and credits.

The more I think about it, the more being done with college scares the living crap out of me! Why? It's because all I have ever known is packing up to go to college in the fall, the anticipation of what the professors will be like, who will be in my classes and so on. Or the dread of going to the dining hall every day when you are too lazy to cook.

These are thoughts that most students my age and below have thought about. Some examples are; Starbucks is the best thing ever, do college professors have a life, why must classrooms have no AC, my classes are so far away, do I really have to make that treck every day?

What I decided would be fun to do is write down some common thoughts and words that have come out of every going to be Senior. Some of these will definitely make some of you smile, chuckle, and hopefully nod your head in agreement. Graduating is a big accomplishment and is much needed for those long years of test taking, stress, projects, and awful group project assignments. Let me start by mentioning a few. Here are 18 popular thoughts that run through seniors' heads.

1.) I'm a senior now why would I be in a class of underclassmen?

2.) Why do half the freshmen wear their ID tag around their neck the first few weeks of classes?

3.) I can skip class more often; I don't need to go every day.

4.) I want to go drinking every Thirsty Thursday.

5.) Who cares to do group projects anymore? I'll just not show up

6.) I don't need to look nice to classes anymore; sweatpants it is!

7.) Where am I going to live after college; I can't live at home forever

8.) Why did I pick the major I did??!

9.) Was freshmen fifteen really a thing?

10.) I feel really old compared to the incoming freshmen.

11.) I miss taking those one-hundred level electives.

12.) I am so over the dining hall food.

13.) I don't miss living in the crappy old dorms.

14.) I miss living so close to the washers and dryers.

15.) Naps have become so important in my life!

16.) I can't do all-nighters anymore.

17.) Homemade food is the best.

18.) Watching tour groups go by is so funny in the spring.

I could keep going; the point is to show everyone what goes on in other people's heads. For the incoming freshmen, have fun with college; it will slip by before you know it. For the new sophomores; hang in there you will be an upperclassman eventually. Juniors, you still have some time to have fun; but focus on your classes. Seniors; go out with a bang!!!

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
