Looking at the calendar, July is halfway over. The summer has flown by whether you've been abroad, at a job, or doing nothing the past two months. If you're like me, you've started to realize that well... this is it. The last hurrah of college is coming up soon.

SENIOR YEAR IS COMING.

You're kind of having a slight identity crisis as the last year of "the best four years of your life" is staring you in the face. You'll be the oldest face on campus, you're starting to replace frat parties with bars, and *gasp* you're gonna have to find a job soon or apply to grad school.

It's gonna be okay.

For every ending there is a new beginning. Instead of worrying about what could happen, enjoy it with those around you; both the people your age and those younger than you.

Now this isn't to say 'throw all caution into the wind and don't ever be concerned about what you're doing afterwards.' The point is to not let worry consume your life. Countless people have been in your position and made it through and you will too.

But while you're there, make a bucket list and actually try to complete it. Go out and try something new. Meet new people; you're going to have to afterwards so why not practice now?

Don't think about it as a sad ending, but the beautiful start to something new.

Now... if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go back to curling up in a ball binge watching Netflix.
