7 Thoughts You Have Before Your Senior Year Of College (As Told By Harry Potter Gifs)

Right now many of us are most likely working, spending time with friends, and coming terms with the fact that the 2016/2017 school year is right around the corner. For many of us, what seemed like something that was once so far off is now soon to be a reality, senior year. In honor of the class of 2017 soon starting our last year in college, and "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" recently coming out, here are seven thoughts of a senior about to graduate college, or Hogwarts.

1. "Where did the time go?"


It seems like just yesterday we were all fresh out of high school and excited to be starting our college careers, and yet we all have a mere few weeks until we start our final year in college. Even though we have all been told several times by friends and family members that “your college years fly by.”, it doesn’t truly resonate until you realize that freshman year was three years ago, and senior year is three weeks from now.

2. "I'm not ready for this."


Change can be scary and while we all know senior year is inevitable, it can be easy to doubt whether or not we’re ready to take that step into the adult world.

3. "I am ready for that.


On the other hand, we have all worked hard to get to where we are today and as much as we may not think we're ready for what lies a head, we know deep down that our senior year is going to have some amazing moments.

4. "I have no idea what the future holds."


If college has taught us anything, it's that not everything is set in stone and things change all the time. We may not know what step lies ahead or how we will handle whatever obstacles come our way, but we do know that being uncertain is OK and as one chapter of our book ends, another begins.

5. "I feel old."


Sure, in the grand scheme of things, we are only in our early- twenties, but we all remember how when we were 18, being 22 seemed like it was just a Taylor Swift song, and now, it will soon be a reality.

6. "I hope I get the internship/job I want."


Whether this year brings applications for internships, the jobs of your dreams, or both, we all have aspirations that we have been working toward, and we all hope we have done enough to get a little bit closer to our dream career.

7. "I'm going to make this the greatest year yet."


Despite being sad about it being the beginning of an end, senior year is an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to be involved in whatever you want to be involved in, and appreciate your surroundings as well as the people you surround yourself with. With less than a year remaining before we embark into the real world, this year will be full of "last's" and I plan to make all of them count.

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.
