No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher dirty looks. As the spring semester commences, you're starting to realize this is also the beginning of the rest of your life. Graduation is coming but you still have to comply with professor syllabi and textbook assignments until then. Get ready for a roller coaster of events because your last semester will leave ample room for surprises.

In the words of Nick Miller "I know this isn’t gonna end well, but the middle part is gonna be awesome." This semester will be that middle part. So make the most of it. Here's your timeline of final college events with a few wise words from Nick Miller.

1. You are gung-ho for success as the semester begins.

You have some high hopes heading into your last semester.

2. You suck up to the professor because you are counting on their recommendations at the end of the semester.

3. You start analyzing grad schools and potential jobs.

What do you mean I have to grow up? You want me to look for jobs?

4. You start to think about what you really want to do and suddenly have no idea.


5. You get your first rejection letter and suddenly feel like you will not have a functioning role in society.

6. You deal with this by drinking.

College didn't offer a class on how to get over rejection so here we are.

7. But then you get your first interview and life brightens up again.

8. You start to daydream about the salary you’ll be making

9. ... and then remember you have three exams tomorrow that you didn’t study for and have work right after class.

There is just so much to do!

10. People begin to ask you what your plans are after graduation.

I don't even know what I want for dinner tonight!


11. The bittersweet feeling of being done with school starts to sink in.

12. Graduation finally comes and you're overwhelmed with emotions.

13. You can't believe its over.

What happens now?

14. But you'll congratulate yourself because YOU DID IT.

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!

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.
