If you're a graduating senior and claim to have zero anxiety, I don't believe you. Life is about to completely change (again) and I know that I'm not anywhere close to being ready for it. Though I have countless fears about what the future holds, I managed to narrow it down to a top 10.
1. Not Finding a job
Looking for a real person job is stressful. Where do you even start? I envy all of you who already have a guaranteed job for after you graduate. You will be paying my bills until I find my own.
2. Finding a job and hating it
Say I actually find a job that wants to hire me. What if I hate it? And can't find a replacement job? So much anxiety.
3. Leaving all of their friends
You find your people in college. You get this whole new family that you spend all of your time with. And then suddenly you're forced to part ways. Don't make me leave.
4. Moving to another new area
It was nerve-racking packing up and moving to a totally new place for college. Now it's time to do it again and be even more clueless.
5. Actually moving out of the house
You didn't really move out of your house when you moved to college. You still had a room back home that you could escape to. But now it's time to actually pack up everything and move into a place of your own.6. Getting post-college depression
Not being in college anymore will be an adjustment to say the least. I know I will spend all of my time reminiscing about my favorite memories at my favorite place.
7. Saying goodbye to that 'party every day' mentality
I know we're in classes now, but when we get to the real world it'll actually be time to get down to business and do some work. No more procrastinating at the bar and tailgates.8. Being broke
College loans, new bills, adulthood, inability to save money and spend it wisely. This is going to be rough.
9. Having to be an actual adult
Now you have to go to work everyday, pay all of your bills if you don't already, find a doctor, find a mechanic, act decent in public, probably cut back on the drinking. Not sure we are ready for all of that.10. The best of times being behind them
College truly is the best time of your life. You learn and grow so incredibly much and make the best of friends and memories. Cheers to you, college, I'll never forget you.
