15 Thoughts Every College Student Has The Summer Before Their Senior Year
Ethan Williamson

When they say that time flies, they certainly do mean it. I have no idea how in just a few short months I will be entering my senior year at Penn State. It feels like yesterday I was nervously moving into Pennypacker, and now I am about to graduate. It's definitely a weird feeling for sure and has me thinking about a lot of things.

Here are 15 thoughts every college student approaching their senior year has thought this summer:

1. "I'm a Senior?!?!?!"

2. "No, but like seriously, wasn't I living in my freshman dorm like yesterday?"

3. "Freshman year forever, am I right? Things were SO MUCH easier back then." 

4. "Why am I tired, like, all the time?"

5. "Time to face the facts, I guess..."

6. "I actually need to start searching for an adult job... say what?!?!"

7. "At least finally being 21 helps numb the pain!"

8. "I miss living so close to all my friends!" 

9. "Wait... You mean after graduation we are going to see each other even less?!?!?!"

10. "I'm GRADUATING?! This can't be right... I'm still 12." 

11. "I should probably have a boyfriend by now..." 

12. "At least I can go to class looking like this..." 

13. "Speaking of my attitude towards class anymore..." 

14. "I'll probably be 15 minutes late and try to leave early... apologies to my professors in advance!"

15. "With all this in mind, thank you Penn State for the best four years of my life and making me the person I am today! I can't wait to return as an alum!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
