8 Things Seniors Think They Can Get Away With

As a college Senior, I can confirm 8 out of 8 of these.

Gainesville Scene

The last year of everything is always the best. During the last year of high school you could attend prom, almost everyone had a license, you could get a job, and you were looking at colleges. What can be better than that? Well, so far, being a college senior is pretty rad.

1. Going to Class in PJ's

First, everyone has worn their PJ's to class. However, Seniors are almost expecting to wear their PJ's to class. You've put up with changing out of your comfy clothes and rolling to class for three years. You deserve some comfy PJ time whenever you want it.

2. Day Drinking

We all know it happens. Your first class got cancelled and your professor for your second class is sick. Which means no class for you. Yay!! A normal student may take a nap, wake up, and start on their homework early. A typical Senior will take a nap, wake up, and open the bottle of wine they keep next to their pillow. Hey, you never know when you may need that!

3. The Best Seats

By now, every senior has a feel for the professors on campus. That includes knowing the best place to sit.

4. Senioritis

Many things fall under this category, but the easiest way to describe it is a senior who does not think that they need to try as hard as they did the past few years because they are only months away from graduating. However, we must remind ourselves that graduation can and will be taken away from us if we fall into the black hole of senioritis too far.

5. Putting Things Off

Some of you may say, "That is the same thing as Senioritis." I am here to inform you that you are wrong. To put something off is to understand that you have a deadline approaching and artistically push your deadline to a date further in the future. Trust me, I am an expert.

6. Partying All The Time

Why? Because it is Senior Year. That's why.

7. Taking More Naps Than Needed

Between all the partying and studying, Seniors get very tired. The best remedy is to nap. Usually during every break longer than 15 minutes. This behavior also causes Seniors to stay up all night. But, they can and will nap tomorrow.

8. Cramming All Homework in on Sunday

Weekends (Friday, Saturday, and occasionally Thursday) are for friends. Sundays are for panicking and rushing through all your homework in less than 24 hours.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
