Four years is a long time to be in one place, but that's the typical college experience. It may even seem longer for some who have been to more than one institution. As graduates, this may be one of the most exciting times of your life because you can finally enter the working world and not think about writing papers or studying for mid-terms and finals.

Real Housewife, Nene Leakes, is the perfect person to use a symbol to share the frustration, joy, and all other emotions that graduates experience throughout their last semester.

Brace yourself!

1. Weeks before the ceremony when the assignments are piling up and exams are just around the corner.

2. When it all gets to be too much.

3. When you're done and the partying begins.

4. Going on a pregame spree in preparation for a drunk graduation day.

5. FINALLY celebrating your accomplishment with your friends.

6. Pulling up to the graduation ceremony like...

7. Voguing on the stage while collecting your diploma like it's nobody's business.

8.When you finally get your diploma and you owe your professor or peers absolutely nothing.

9. Another day, another milestone.

10. Looking at the undergrads who have EONS to go.

11. When you think about the prospect of going on your job interviews and are waiting for the questions like:

12. Landed a job.

13. Fantasizing how you're going to kill at your job.

14. And the money you'll make...while still struggling. Let's be real. You now have bills to pay but you are dependent on no one.

15. Finally out here living your best life.

May (ha!) all the 2018 graduates go out there and kick some serious ass! Cheers to everyone, and remember never to compare yourself to each other because they're not made like you.
