The Three Things That Scare me About Graduating

No more all nighters in the lib or walking to class in below freezing temperatures! Graduating is right around the corner and so exciting, but these three things make me nervous about entering the adult world.

One: Not Getting Enough Exercise


I've recently become a bit of a gym rat. Between classes you can find me biking or using the elliptical. After classes I'm usually lifting weights or going to a HIIT class, even without all of this, I usually walk around 3 miles a day just to get to and from class. I'm SO nervous that a 9 to 5 job sitting at a desk is going to tack on a lot of extra weight. I feel like after a long day of work it takes a lot of dedication to get into the gym. Maybe I need to find something like Cyclebar to hold me accountable.


This being said, I love fitness classes, so if anyone has any suggestions similar to Cyclebar, let me know! I used to go to Planet Fitness, but I really like the class setting.


Two: Finding my Own Health Insurance


I've been pretty independant since I started my college career, paying for my car insurance and payment, rent, phone plan, etc. So I would say I have a decent handle on managing my money, but the idea of finding my own health insurance and finding which one is best for me terrifies me. Not only finding one, but does it have everything I need? I've been going to the same dentist since I was six, what if my new insurance doesn't cover them? Stress.

Three: Moving Away From my Best Friends


The last four years have been spent around some of the best, most uplifting people in the world. One of my best friends is going abroad, one out west, even the others will be "close" at only 5 hours away. I am constantly surrounded by people my age with common interests now, and I'm so scared I won't be as happy without having that. I know I can continue my relationships with them, but I know it would be the same.

What am I going to do without watching The Bachelor every Monday??

1. Why is Wilson Hall so complicated to navigate? Even as a senior, I still get lost in Wilson. As a freshman, I was warned about the unnecessary complexity of the building, was laughed at by upperclassman for my confused looks on the first day of school and walked and rewalked the whole hall before finding my classroom. #annoying.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City. This got me thinking about who else would be a good candidate to take over the city of dreams. Then I realized that Blair Waldorf, if she were a real person, would be my number one choice for governor. Here are five reasons why Queen B would be an excellent ruler.
