Like thousands all across the country, I am going into my senior year of college this upcoming school year, and I know I speak for many when I say I am feeling a large mix of emotions. Entering the adult world in less than a year seems like an exhilarating yet frightening concept, and we're not all that sure we're ready yet. Here's how we feel about going into our final year of schooling:
1. We feel nostalgic.
GiphyThe past few years have been a whirlwind of exams, bars, and countless new experiences. It's all coming to an end; let's make the most of it.
2. We feel nervous.
GiphyThe future is coming up entirely too quick. There's much to be nervous about, but there's also tons to be excited about!
3. We feel excited.
Giphy...and we should! This is guaranteed to be a killer year. We're kings of the campus, aren't we?
4. We feel relieved.
GiphyThe school stress that has at times suffocated you in the past few years is soon coming to an end. You just gotta endure it for a little while longer!
5. We feel shocked.
GiphyAs I ask myself time and time again, "Where does the time go?" How are we already to this milestone in our young lives? Don't blink.
6. We feel senioritis.
GiphyTrust me, it is as real a thing in college as it was in high school. Enough said.
7. We feel prepared.
GiphyAll the hard work and time and effort we have put in the last few years is finally about to pay off. Give yourself a pat on the back, but then get ready to shift back into full gear.
8. We feel proud.
GiphyWe totally did it! We're almost there! We got this. Be so, so proud of yourself.
9. We feel determined.
GiphyDetermined to finish college strong and graduate with that great GPA, determined to find a job right after graduation, determined to begin the rest of our lives on a positive note.
ConGRADulations, soon-to-be graduates! Take it all in this year, and be excited for your next chapter.
