In just a couple of weeks, I -- along with the Class of 2017 -- will be starting my final year of college. While I am definitely excited to begin the next phase of my life after graduation, I can't help but feel sad thinking about leaving a place where I have spent the last four years of my life. Of course, there are many things I've mastered over the years in college. But entering senior year, here are some things I still cannot manage to do.
1. Be fully awake for an 8 a.m. class.
Sorry, but it's just never going to happen, no matter how much caffeine is consumed.
2. Not rely on my planner as a lifeline.
It will always be my Bible.
3. Accept the price of textbooks (and tuition).
Hello, endless loans!
4. Take the first week of classes seriously.
It's syllabus week -- the only time we can be at college, actually relax, and not have mental breakdowns every day.
5. Complete an assignment without getting sidetracked.
If I don't check Facebook, how will I be able to know if my cousin's best friend's sister is doing well?
6. Not drink caffeine.
It's just a necessity, at this point.
7. Tolerate group projects.
Even worse, if group members are assigned.
8. Motivate myself to walk to class in the freezing winter months.
Longest 10 minutes ever.
9. Accept the fact that I'm actually a senior.
Nope, nope, nope.
