Things WT Seniors Wished as a Freshman to Accomplish Before Graduation

There are always things we wish would accomplish, but usually never do - like a New Year's Resolution or a bucket list.

In less than two months, hundreds of seniors will walk the stage and graduate from WT, myself included. So, after thinking about this (and maybe slightly fearing it) I thought of a couple things I remember as a freshman hoping I would accomplish by the time I was a senior. Most of these I have definitely not accomplished, but hey, maybe some of the other seniors have! So here goes:

  1. To take the stairs to the top of the CC without sounding like the big bad wolf about to huff and puff the little piggy's house down.
    1. It's a thing. I personally feel like I might die of an asthma attack afterwards, but I am out of shape, so hopefully other seniors have fared better here.
  2. To figure out what they are going to do with their life.
    1. Yeah, life decisions are a big deal, especially a life decision about what you will do for the rest of your life. It's hard. I still don't know.
  3. To get rid of the freshman 15.
    1. Ha. Ha! HA! Definitely did not happen for me, but that's okay!
  4. To go into the Buffalo Fountain platform without getting in trouble.
    1. I have heard stories of people doing this. I personally don't think I would make the jump without actually falling in and like breaking my ankle. But good luck to all the rest of you guys!
  5. To use all of their meal plan at least once
    1. One time I only had two left. I felt like the most accomplished person ever. But now I am lucky it its below 60.
  6. To graduate with a 4.0
    1. Sometimes you pick a major that you actually 100% not meant for and you get a B. That's okay. But also lots of classes are really hard. Like Organic Chemistry, if you make it out with a B, props to you, you are my hero.
  7. To have a plan after graduation
    1. Career Services has lots of great options and opportunites to help you figure what you want to do. They rock, use them!
  8. To make it through four years without pulling an all-nighter
    1. Procrastination is a thing, which sometimes results in needing the whole night before to prepare yourself. It happens to the best of us and the worst of us.
  9. To find a partner, best friend, soulmate, etc.
    1. At this age, everyone is asking you if you are seeing anyone or if you've met anyone, or, like in my case, everyone from your close family to your distant relatives to people from your church trying to play match-maker.
  10. Oh and to figure out what they are going to do with their life
    1. This one deserves to be mentioned twice because, well, life is hard and scary.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
