Transitions are always scaring and perhaps one of the scariest ones is when we are kicked out of our little college bubble and out into the real-real world. Don't get me wrong we have already partaken in the real world we have not been living a fairy tale, however it is the time for when we will be forced away from our friends and we will be completely responsible for our own lives. Here are a few thoughts I think everyone has at least once when they are about to graduate.


Hire me please.

We all have had that moment where we think we will never get hired by anyone. We just desperately want someone to notice all the hard work we have put in the past few years and give us a salary for it. Pleas hire us. We are begging you.


How will I function without my friends?

There are always friends around to help you put together an outfit or to look over a paper you have written. You are kind of used to travelling in a heard whether if it is for dinner or a sports event. Your group has come from all over the country and once you are outside of your bubble you wonder how you will see them again and how you will be as happy on your own.


But I still haven't learned how to be an adult?

what is a Roth IRA? What kind of retirement plan do I need? What is the plural of "moose"? These are questions that we still ask ourselves. When we were younger we thought that when we graduated college we would feel like adults but here we are and we are still confused about a lot of things.


I need to buy dress pants.

I need to get a whole new wardrobe for the adult work field. I don't think my roll out of bed college clothes are going to cut it anymore. We might need to start investing in a wardrobe that is more real clothes rather than pajamas and workout clothes.


What if I forget everything I have learned?

What if I cannot remember everything important that I have been told for the last four years? What if all of my knowledge just decides to leave my brain.


We finally did it.

We are finally getting prepared to walk the line. We are very proud that we have been able to accomplish this dream that we have had for so long. No, it has not been easy. We know that it will be worth it. We cannot wait to put all of our work to the test. We will always cherish the amazing memories we have had at our school. we will forever be thankful for the amazing season in our lives that is known as college.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
