As spring semester is quickly passing, the dreaded G-word is approaching. This is the day that we have been dreading since we have moved into our freshman dorms. Our carefree lifestyle has to be traded to act like an adult (or at least try). These are what graduating students dread hearing more than anything.
1. So have you gotten any job offers yet?
Considering my special skills include spending copious amounts of money on Starbucks and procrastinating a paper until it is due the next hour, no.
2. Where are you going to live?
This is one of the worst questions that a future graduate is posed because most know the answer but don't want to face it. Our parents' house is free, furnished (hey, no lawn chairs in the living room) and reliable. But that doesn't stop me from searching on apartmentfinder.com every day.
3. The job market is terrible nowadays.
Well, that's reassuring...
4. Aren't you going to miss college?
Of course. College has given me the best friends and the most crazy memories (some of which I don't remember).
5. Now you can't go out five times a week.
Wait...that isn't normal?
6. What are you really going to do with your major?
I don't know, probably just become a professional Netflix watcher.
7. Are you ready to graduate?
Umm...NO. Why would anyone want to leave a world where eating 3,000 calories a day is normal and going to class hung over is accepted. You are definitely not going to be able to do that in real life without repercussions.
8. Where do you see yourself in five years?
Probably slumped over the bar crying about how hard life is, but hey, let's try and stay positive here.
9. The real world is just around the corner.
I know, and I am deathly afraid of it. It is scarier than Michael Myers and that girl from "The Ring" combined.
10. Are you going to grad school?
If they accept me. Not everyone thinks I am one in a million like you do, grandma.
11. You know you have to really be an adult now...
Does that mean that I have to like, pay my own bills and stuff?
But we still have a semester left. So let's live it up like we are freshmen to forget that we are seniors. And congratulations class of 2016, WE DID IT.
