Freshman year you were still figuring everything out, sophomore year was filled with highs and lows, but now you're a junior, and finally an upperclassman! It feels mind boggling that you're half way done with your college career and on your way to adulthood, but we still have some fun times ahead of us. Here are 10 reasons why everyone should get pumped for their junior year!
1. You finally have the whole living situation figured out
Whether you lived at home freshman year, hated your dorm, or you and your roommates just didn't get along, you finally have a decent place to live! Its common to live with your besties at an off campus house or apartment junior year which makes life so much sweeter!
2. College life is no longer an adjustment
This is your third time around and you're ready to take on anything that is thrown your way. You survived two whole years of stress and nothing can shake you now. You're half way done with college and have an immense amount of knowledge and resources to help you get through the last two years!
3. Internships are exciting
Junior year is full of exciting internships! This is the time when you finally get to experience a taste of the real world. Getting job experience and building your resume are all prevalent aspects of junior year.
4. You can study abroad
Experiencing different cultures and countries is an amazing experience! Since most of your prerequisites and general education credits are out of the way, traveling abroad is a great way to spend a semester!
5. You finally get to learn about things that you actually care about
Finally, the time has come to explore your major with core classes that are actually relevant to what you're studying! Say goodbye to those weird art classes you took just to get a credit and the ridiculously hard physics class you needed as a prerequisite. Plus, it makes studying fun and interesting!
