Senior year (or if you’re like me, Senior Semester) is an emotional roller coaster. I know that’s incredibly clichéd, but it’s the only way to describe it accurately. One minute you’re so excited because you’re about to be finished with college. The next minute, you’re paralyzed with doubts of all kinds. Starting your last year of college will be the most exciting and most terrifying. These are just some of the thoughts and moments you will experience.
1. The “This is the last time I’ll do this” moments.
There is a mixture of nostalgia and having no empathy for others who still have to go through this crazy sh*t.
2. Excited to get the year/semester over with.
No more school? Yes, please.
3. Don’t want to adult yet.
4. You just can't anymore with anything.
5. The moment you realize your grades matter this semester.
You can’t afford a redo.
6. When you realize you can’t take the really cool class offered next year/semester.
Where was this class all those times you couldn’t find anything to register for?
7. You either feel every emotion possible or nothing at all.
8. Caffeine is your friend.
9. When people ask if you're excited to be done.
10. You have to get a big kid job soon.
11. You just want to be done and do just about anything else.
Senioritis is strong with this one.
12. You need to work for money, but you need to pass your classes.
Work or study… the real dilemma.
13. Just give up and eat.
14. Looks no longer matter anyway.
You're just trying to survive, size and shape just aren't important!
15. You long for the days of binge watching without feeling like your procrastinating.
Which, of course you are.
16. You try to tell yourself to calm the f**k down.
17. You’re not alone
Others are suffering right along next to you.
18. Conventional glasses no longer get the job done.
19. After you take your last finals ever.
At least, this is the goal when it comes to your emotional state.
20. The moment you get your diploma.
You'll make it. I promise. At least that's what I keep telling myself!
