1.Graduation

Personally, I can't even say the word out loud without becoming nauseated. You know that moment you've been waiting for all your life? I feel like this is it. These next few months are also the last months of my life that come with a free hall pass for my wild behavior.

The thought of my friend group going our separate ways is the scariest part.

Devastating is the only word that comes to my mind. On my first day of college, I found the friends I would go on to spend all my 4 years with. Lucky would be an understatement when telling you about the relationship I have with each one of them. Our bond is irreplaceable and I can't imagine my life without them being just a few feet away.

The idea of starting a new chapter in my life is both nerve-racking and exhilarating. What will I do? Where will I live? Where do I start?

2.Your Ex

I'm not kidding when I say running into any of my exes is terrifying. It's not that I don't want to talk, it's that I don't want to be reminded of our memories. So sorry, but you simply weren't considered in my mental preparations for the day. Being in the same room as the person you shared your whole life with, pretending to be strangers, is heart-wrenching.

I hope one day these moments become less terrifying, as there is starting to be too many people and places to avoid.

3.Tequila Shots

I can guarantee when bringing up the subject of tequila, crazy stories will be told. "1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, FLOOR" is a real thing. One minute, you're throwing back tequila shots like water. The next you're having the time of your life, being an absolute psychopath or both.

The last time I took tequila shots you ask? Fell to the floor at least once, was kicked out of my favorite bar, and spent the remainder of the night reviving my best friend.

So, it's pretty safe to say, I no longer participate in tequila shots.

4.Checking Your Bank Account

Here it comes, the dreaded call from your parents to be reprimanded for your spending abilities. "What are all these Venmos?" seems to be my mom's most frequent question. I usually reply by telling her some things are better unknown. But seriously, how do I tell my mom where all my money went? Do I start with "it's senior year mom, I'm drinking my face off" or "I just bought $200 dollars of clothes I didn't need online".

5. Missing Your Period

Hmm... your period was supposed to be here about 5 days ago. That drunk sex you had about 3 weeks ago? Yeah, you better start thinking long and hard about the details. A mini heart attack is a perfect way to explain this feeling. I always take the biggest sigh of relief when my period finally arrives.
