From applying to graduation, to applying for your first real job, to finally taking that last class you need to finish your major, fourth years, graduation is upon us. There's one more semester left before you'll be walking down the steps of the Rotunda for the last time as a UVA undergraduate student. So here are 14 ways to know that you're at the peak of your fourth year at UVA.
1. When you finally have to take that one class that you need to graduate, but you’ve been dreading for the last three years.
2. When a Frat brother asks you if you’re “UVA 21?” and you sadly and shamefully nod yes.
3. You actually get to use your real ID when going out to bars.
4. The skill of completing papers and projects the night before they are due has become the new norm.
5. When your friends and family members ask you what your plans are after graduation, and you realize that you have no idea what you're doing with your life.
*Unless you're in the Comm School and have already told everyone about your 17 offers.
6. When you have the need to start dating someone you've known for all four years even though you will only be able to see each other for the next couple of months.
7. When you realize your midterm is coming up and you haven't been to a single class all semester
8. When you start doing homework at the Virginian, Boylan, Trinity, etc., instead of at libraries, because libraries don't have survivor hour specials.
