8 Reactions To Graduation Posts

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.

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.
