What It Feels Like To Be A Graduating College Senior As Told By Gob Bluth

Graduating seniors are pitiful creatures. They've reached the end, but most have acquired "senior-itis" by now. It's an incurable disease. Only way for it to end is upon graduation. Seniors are top-dogs on campus, but underneath, lies a whole other realm of feelings for them. Read on and enter the exciting (and petrifying) world of graduating college seniors.

1. You finally realize you have to get a job.

You've been so consumed with school assignments and extra-curricular activities, you've forgotten to do the most important thing: find a job.

2. You understand the other seniors in your major are now your competition.

No longer are they "just" your friends anymore. The people also in your major are going out into the world to take your jobs. Let the games begin.

3. You start to wonder how on earth you even made it this far in school.

Just like Gob here, you may have just realized you might have been a little too believable as the "A" student, and now you have no idea what you're doing. Fake it until you make it!

4. You have a new appreciation for your friends you may never see again.

Not everyone at your college is from your hometown. Once you graduate, it's very likely you won't see them ever again. Take this opportunity to give them those awkward hugs you know they'll miss.

5. You no longer have any motivation to go to class.

Can I get an amen? Going to class, at this point, is like stepping on hot coals all the way to class when you really could have been in your bed. Lord, help us all.

6. "I would love to go to the movies!"

Yeah. Either graduating seniors are scrounging to save up for an apartment or they're just plain broke. Have mercy on these souls; they're trying their best to be adults.

7. You grasp the consequences of your procrastination with school assignments.

Senior project is due in one week? Gob said it best, "I've made a huge mistake." You're screwed unless you refer back to number 3. Fake it until you make it, even if it's until the day of your graduation.

But, you've made it my friends. You're so closer to the end than you think. Dream impossible dreams. Be what you want to be, even if that is a below-average magician like Gob Bluth. He owns it. You should, too.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
