You're officially halfway done with college. What has seemed like a whirlwind for the past two years is suddenly screeching towards reality at an alarming rate. Now is the time to buckle down. Get stuff done. Become a real grown-up. This can materialize in a variety of ways, whether it's living in your first apartment or taking more advanced classes (goodbye, gen-eds). Junior year can feel like a weird sort of limbo for some, you're no longer fresh on campus but you're not quite a senior yet. For all of my fellow juniors out there, here are a few ways in which you can probably relate.
1. "Let's just stay in tonight . . ."
Gone are the days of wild house parties, it's wine night season now.
2. "Wait — what happened to all of my easy classes?"
I need HOW many advanced credits???
3. "Have you found your summer internship yet?"
Finding a good one is a full-time job.
4. "I'm going abroad."
All of our feeds for the next year:
5. "Frat parties? No thanks."
This is the year where we all turn 21 — frats were for our younger, underage selves.
6. "I slept in until 8:00 today, it was great"
Sleep is a myth.
7. "I'm in a wedding this weekend"
Nothing is scarier than our friends and siblings starting to get married. Who's next??
8. "I can't, I have work to do"
I've literally never been busier. I wish that was an understatement.
9. "One absence is 10% off of your final grade"
No more 500 person lectures that you "Totally went to. Like all the time."
10. "Hold on, I have to call my brother/sister"
They're starting college now, and need our help more than ever.
