Everyone says they want to be a senior, but trust me you really don’t. Enjoy the easy days, because senior year is not easy. First you have to apply to colleges, and that includes writing college essays, paying for applications, choosing where to apply too and did I mention writing college essays? Then you experience the ultimate stress of waiting for your acceptance (or denial) letter to come. After that it only gets worse, but no worries, Twenty One Pilots has a song for every moment.
1. Stressed Out
We “wish we could turn back time to the good old days” and have our moms sing us to sleep instead of crying ourselves to sleep. We try to come up with something that “no one’s ever heard” so we can get our tuition paid for.
2. Doubt
The application will ask for your social media so you will spend the next hour deleting all of the pictures that you didn’t spend forever editing to make yourself look perfect. Admit it: you’re “scared of [your] own image” and scared that there’s a chance you won’t get accepted due to your looks or quality of photos.
3. The Judge
You have turned in your application, but now the process of freaking out has begun. Now you can no longer do anything except wait, but you will lock yourself in your room and question everything because “…his four walls declared him insane.” Then “…the leader of the bad guys sang” and you’re thinking “”Wow, I probably should’ve stayed inside my house” because your acceptance letter has come and you’re not ready.
4. Ride
You got into college. Nothing can describe the feeling. You have the next stage in your life secured. You’re on a high--everything’s great.
5. We Don’t Believe What’s On TV
Second semester of senior year has finally come. It’s stressful, and you’re freaking out. It might only be February, but you start to think “what if my dream does not happen?” So if you’re not a senior, then tell them you’re going to stick around, because all we’re thinking is “I need to know that when I fail you’ll still be here.”
6. Before You Start Your Day
It's Graduation day so “put out the glitter that your soul hides behind” because today is your day. Don’t worry about any of your recent failures. All that should be on your mind is you singing to yourself “la da, la da, la da, la da, la da, la da.”
7. Polarize
It’s moving day. You want to move and go to your dream school, but you don’t want to say goodbye to your hometown. As you say your goodbyes, you will be reminded of every memory that happened at every spot in town, whether they’re good or bad.
