Because, apparently, we can't ignore reality forever.

8 Reactions To Graduation Posts
Her.ie

Graduation season is upon us once again, and even though it feels like just yesterday that I was saying goodbye to high school, every time I open my Facebook or Instagram, I'm overwhelmed with graduation posts. Sappy captions, graduation photos, and perfectly detailed plans for the future clutter up my internet browser history and, as a sophomore with no clue what I'm doing, it makes me feel new levels of stressed out.

1. "When did I become old enough to have friends that are real adults?"

As far as I remember, I'm still 12, right?

2. "What am I going to do with my major?"

Sure, it's my passion and I can't imagine doing anything else -- but I also don't want to be homeless/starving.

3. "Does anyone else feel as terrified about their future as I do?"

So are we all just going to keep acting like we're cool with all this responsibility? Am I the only one who still isn't completely sure how to boil water?

4. "What if all my friends move away and I'm left alone?"

Why can't we just keep living five minutes away from each other forever?

5. "Does this mean that people my age are going to start getting married and having children soon?"

The realization that wedding invitations will soon be filling up my life/fridge door seems too overwhelming to be reality.

6. "Why does everyone keep asking me what I'm doing after graduation?"

I still have two full years! Can I live?!

7. "But really...what am I going to do after graduation?"

I've already done the college application process once, but finding a job feels just as daunting.

8. "Why is everyone so much more put together than I am?"

But deep down, you know that everyone feels just as unsure as you do.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
