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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
