Time really flies when your in college; probably even faster than the four years spent in high school.
Nothing really beats the satisfaction of walking across that stage and finally getting a degree. But before you take that walk, there are some things to think about leading up to graduation day. There are so many deadlines and preparation that go into the last month before it comes to an end.
From a college undergrad about to graduate in a month, here are some thoughts every soon-to-be graduate has.
1. Make sure you order your cap and gown.
2. Find out dates, times, and location of the graduation ceremony.
3. Talk to your academic adviser.
4. Make sure you have all your credits to graduate.
5. Job search.
6. Apartment hunt/living arrangements after college.
7. Are you moving back home?
8. Are you staying in your college town?
9. Relocating for a job?
10. Who are you inviting to graduation?
11. Prepare yourself for the multiple breakdowns you might have.
12. Wow, my stress level is through the roof.
13. Cry about how many books you've bought this semester but never opened.
14. Senioritis in high school is nothing compared to the last semester of college.
15. How many group projects do I have?
16. There's a cumulative final????
17. I feel like I'm just going through the motions.
18. I just want a REAL job already.
19. Try to sell miscellaneous items on your school's Facebook page for extra cash.
20. Desperately searching for an entry level job that's not asking for 3+ years of experience.
21. Mentally checked out, physically still going to class.
22. Preparing yourself for the real world.
23. Loans...how am I going to pay off all this debt?
24. Being too excited to start your career in a few months.
25. Having the countdown on your phone/in your planner.
26. Did I mention job hunting?
27. I am grateful to have been given the chance to attend college.
28. Low key really going to miss college and all the opportunities it has given me.
29. I'll never forget all the people that have made lasting impressions for a lifetime.
30. Looking back and thinking it was all worth it.
In advance, I would like to congratulate all the upcoming students for the class of 2018! We made it!
