8 Reasons Why I Can't WAIT To Graduate College

Normally I'm that friend in the friend group who says "Oh, you shouldn't want to waste your time on this earth wishing you had graduated already!"

Yeah, not today.
After all of the BS papers, roommate drama and missing pans, Insomnia Cookies closing just as you finally find a parking space, and waiting 20 minutes just for a chicken sandwich from Chik-Fil-A on campus, part of me is just so ready to be done! And it is that part of me that I am going to expound on. Here are my eight reasons for why I am ready to graduate:

1. You won't have to deal with signing up for classes.




Congratulations, you no longer have to write lengthy emails to that professor who hates you explaining why you NEED to take this class to GRADUATE ON TIME. You don't have to wake up at 6 AM and pray the internet is working so you don't get beat to the best class time for next semester. And you DON'T have to go to any more academic advising meetings!

2. You don't have to abide by a certain set of rules.





When I say that, I say that rather objectively. For example, I'm a film student, and I have certain guidelines I have to follow for each project. One film might have to be a drama, one might have to only use one kind of prime lens... you get the idea.

Now.... I make my OWN rules!

3. No more paying obscene amounts of money for parking permits far away from buildings you need to get to.

No more early morning walks 30 minutes across campus to get to your 8 AM on time!!

4. You're gonna feel a little less like a child.


Mini-rant warning.

As much as people say they treat everyone equally, I've come across a lot of situations where I was downright disrespected because I am a student: it's like because I am still in school, people feel they can assume I don't have any common sense. That's not how college works!!!

5. No more 8 AM classes.



Well... let's just live in the fantasy that we won't have to work a 9-5 next... and enjoy a little bit of sleeping in.

6. A REAL apartment.

Don't get me wrong: living in a place that has a party going on somewhere all the time is pretty sweet. But there are definitely days (let's say, Monday through Wednesday) where I know I would prefer if my neighbors weren't so turnt... all of the time.

7. Getting a job so you can afford things.


^Need I say more? Now I'll be able to afford a nice a** car!

8. The feeling of accomplishing something.


I loved graduation day in high school Getting my diploma made me feel like I had some physical to show off everything I had learned. I have no doubt that it will be the same thing for college, too.
The feeling of accomplishing something makes you feel like you can do anything.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
