10 GIFs That Every Second Semester Senior Will Relate To

To all my fellow high school seniors: congratulations! College apps are over, and we can finally just sit back, relax, and watch graduation day roll around. Here are 10 GIFs that encapsulate what we're all feeling.

1. When you realize you're all done with college apps

College apps are undoubtedly the bane of every senior experience. Combine the stress of writing a really good application with extracurriculars, school work, family, and social life, and you have a recipe for a plethora of sleepless lights. Luckily, it's all over now.

2. But then you remember scholarships are a thing

Sadly, it's not quite over yet. Scholarships are really the only thing protecting us against the terrifying creature that is student debt. I knew it was too good to be true.

3. When your teacher assigns homework

You fool! Who do you think I am--a student who cares? Nothing matters anymore...

4. But then you remember you're taking AP classes

Damn you, CollegeBoard. Looks like there's no time for relaxation just yet. You'll still have to crack down and do your work if you want to do well on the AP Exam.

5. When your friends in lower grades complain about their coursework

Sucks to suck, am I right? It's always enjoyable to poke fun at your friends who still have a year (or a few) left to go. Go ahead, flaunt your status. Tell the world how it feels to taste sweet, sweet freedom.

6. Waiting for college decisions

This is probably the hardest part of being a senior. I. Just. Want. To. Know. The apprehension is KILLING me!

7. Finally getting an acceptance

Well, it looks like I'm actually going to college. Thank God. Now I just have to figure out how to pay for it...

8. When you have to think about the future

How am I going to feed myself? How will I get clean clothes? How will I get a real career? I'm going to be an adult soon. Like, a real adult! This can't be happening. Cue panic attack.

9. Realizing that it's almost over

No more terrible teachers. No more hanging around those unbearable classmates of yours. When high school ends, you can go out and explore the world. Discover who you are. Experience new things. Meet new people.

10. But also, realizing that it's almost over

Soon you'll be saying goodbye to the school you called home for four years. You'll miss that one teacher who you have a great connection with. You'll miss that one class you're taking that you absolutely love. You'll miss your friends. You'll miss that club, that sports team, that organization you were a part of. You'll miss the football games, the little quirks and traditions, and the pride that makes your school so special.

So, there you have it. Here's to goodbyes. And here's to new beginnings--for all of us.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
