Graduation is coming sooner than you want it to, and you find yourself trying to juggle passing classes, keeping up with all your extracurriculars and part-time jobs while trying to land a "real" job after you graduate. Your last semester is filled with ordering announcements and making sure you didn't leave out family members and filling out paperwork and finishing up projects and papers and taking exams and passing them. Below are five anxieties graduating seniors have had at some point during their last semester.

1. Meeting all requirements

The closer you get to graduation, the more times you start double checking to make sure you've met all your requirements. Do I have all my credits completed? Have I filled out and completed all necessary paperwork? Because, knowing your luck, you'll get an email the day before graduation saying you didn't meet one small requirement, and now you have to stay and pay for a half credit class.

2. Still haven't found a job

With your type-A personality, you'll want to have a plan and be working towards that plan, but after graduation, there really is no set in stone plan. You don't get the summer off, and you're not coming back in August, so now what? You start panicking because you haven't heard of anywhere that's hiring, and no one has called you back regarding job applications. Then you start worrying if you'll even like the job. Is it something you're going to enjoy or will it be a 'dragging your butt to work everyday' type job? Are you headed in the right direction career-wise? What do you even want to do with your life? And then you start questioning the meaning of life, and it all goes downhill from there.

3. Crying over everything sentimental

This is the time where everything you see and everything you do becomes sentimental, and you will want to cry because this will potentially be the last time you see or do said thing. Like how that light pole over there reminds you of the time you had too much to drink and threw up next to it. Or the sound of the door when it slams and you know someone's come home. Or how you appreciate every car ride you spend singing along to every song on your best friend's playlist down every back road you can find, pretending to be pop stars. You'll want to spend all your time appreciating every little moment because the slower you want time to be, the faster it seems to go and you never know if that could be the last time.

4. "Free" food is no longer an option

Even though, "technically," it's been paid for, being able to use those meal swipes when you're low on cash is a pretty sweet option to have. You often take for granted that option, but it is there, and it will unfortunately be gone when you graduate. No more "free" food. You actually have to pay to keep yourself from starving.

5. School's all you've ever known

Your whole life, you have done nothing but attend school. Every year, you know what to expect. School starts in August and you get some breaks and you have a lot of homework all the time and that is the only thing you have ever done. Now all of a sudden, you don't do that anymore. You realize you don't get a month off for winter break anymore, and you can't skip class for a day to take a road trip to Florida whenever you want. It doesn't work like that anymore. And then, you'll start worrying about how much you'll even get to see your family anymore.

I know there's a lot of worries surrounding graduation, but even though it can be scary, it's also exciting. It's a new chapter of your life you'll be starting. Life is constantly changing, and this is just another circumstance. So don't worry too much, soon-to-be college grad. Those job offers will start rolling in and come when you least expect them to. The possibilities are endless, and you are in control. Just follow where your heart leads you and explore every option. You're going to make it, I promise.
