If you're a college senior preparing to graduate, some or all of these thoughts have probably run through your head in the last few weeks, days or hours:
1. Gotta find a job. Gotta find a job. Gotta find a job.
2. This test isn’t really going to affect my grade, right?
3. Everything is sad. Everything is ending! (cue the soft, sappy string music).
4. Just 30 more days until freedom. 29. 28. 27…
5. Where did the past four years of my life go? I literally just graduated from high school.
6. I need to check everything off my bucket list that I’ve been wanting to do since the first day of freshman year.
7. I should probably go to the gym and make use of the free facilities while I still have them. Or not...
8. There are still so many restaurants in this city that I haven’t tried yet. I NEED TO TRY THEM ALL. (There goes my budget).
9. It’s time for endless sleepovers with my best friends because we’ll never have a time like this again.
10. I am so done done done with homework. One more month and then never again.
11. This is my last time doing or going (fill in the blank). Let the water works begin.
12. I have changed so much in the past four years.
13. Applications, loans, interviews, repeat. These are the only words in my vocabulary now.
14. Gotta spiff up that LinkedIn profile.
15. What’s up with these job applications that require 2-3 years of experience at an entry level job? Okay, I’ll just quickly get some experience and then come back to ya.
16. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO IN SO LITTLE TIME.
17. Everyone says the college years are the best four years of my life and now it’s almost over. What am I going to do?
18. I’m really really going to miss this place.
Here's to four incredible years of growth, learning, and fun. Here's to the next four years of discovery, excitement, and craziness! Good luck, my fellow seniors!
