8 Thoughts From December Graduates

Who graduates in December anyways?

8 Thoughts From December Graduates
Chris Schneider

It's almost a month until December graduations begin. Our timelines across all of our social media platforms will soon be filled with cap and gown pictures yet again. This time, instead of it being our friends graduating, it will be us. It's finally our turn. There might be some hassles before we finally get to cross that stage and turn our tassels...

1. Waiting patiently for the mail to arrive with your cap and gown.

*twiddles thumbs*

2. Scheduling senior pictures.

Who of your friends is a great photographer, knows you so well, and can capture it all perfectly?

3. Ordering graduation invitations.

"How many should I order?" "You want me to invite who to graduation?" "Who is that? Are we related?"

4. Outfit

What does one actually wear to a December graduation? Will it actually be wintery weather, or a warmer winter?

5. Job Applications

Resumes. Cover Letters. Applications. Repeat.

6. Trying to perfect wearing the graduation cap.

Don't be that person that pins it to the back of your head, unless you absolutely must.

7. Finishing your college bucket list.

After four years of college, you would think that you have done everything and gone to all of the places you need to go, but that's certainly is not the case. Let's take a road trip through our college town!

8. Counting down...

Soon enough, we can say that we did it!

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.
