What College Seniors Begin To Feel Less Than 100 Days Until Graduation

But by your graduation day, I am sure you will think it was all worth it.

If you are a second-semester college senior, you probably just realized you are less than 100 days away from completing your undergraduate career. In less than 100 days you will be crossing that stage, receiving one of the most expensive pieces of paper of your life. That piece of paper may have cost at least $200,000 in tuition, $500+ for nights out, $1,000 in textbooks, many sleepless nights, and a whole lot of stress. But by your graduation day, I am sure you will think it was all worth it. However until graduation, here are some of the feelings we will be feeling until we are officially the Class of 2017!

1. Excitement

You begin to feel excitement knowing that in a few short months you will be a college graduate. You begin to feel excitement knowing that you are going to have a great last few months with your best friends and be able to live it up all day, every day.

2. Stress

Now you begin to feel the stress and pressure of finding a job with less than 100 days until graduation. You begin to feel the stress of your senior thesis, all the classes you need to graduate, and everything else you need to get done in the next few weeks.

3. Heartbroken

Now everything you do on and off campus starts to become a series of lasts. The last time you take the Valiant into White Plains to go to Brother Jimmy's. The last time you take the 3 AM Valiant back to campus. The last time you get to have a gross pub wrap - I mean who would actually miss that? The last time you get to go lay out on the Quad. And your last Nights Parties and Quad Jam.

4. Fear

You begin to start feeling "fear of the unknown." What will happen once you graduate and what will happen to the friendships you have built through your time at college. You also begin to feel fearful about passing all your classes and graduating "on time."

Good luck seniors! We are officially in double digits!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
