What They Don’t Tell You About Your Senior Year of College

Okay, so it is my senior year of college and I am finally in my last semester here at Clemson University!! Most people would say that's awesome, you should have an easy semester, right? Wrong. What they fail to mention is all the STRESS you are under within the last four months of your career. I have been trying to juggle taking my last 18hrs of courses and maintaining a social life all while applying for what I like to call "big girl" jobs.

When you go into your senior year, you assume everything is going to be super easy and you'll have no worries in the world. I had to find that out the hard way my last semester because we fail to realize things go WRONG!! Now, don't get too frantic I am still graduating, but things so far in my last semester has been hectic. With balancing the 18 credit hours of English courses that I did not know I had to take, to trying to maintain a social life and me time is hard.

You do not realize how fast time goes until you have barely little time to do anything. The most stressful part of it all is looking for professional jobs. I am confused about where to apply to, and when I am applying if my applications are actually being received.

You have zero guidance on how to do this adult thing, which is 100% stressful. I know this may sound like an easy fix to some people, but if you are a planner like myself, you would understand the amount of stress I am under right now. But, I do know to be able to keep a positive attitude I will make it through this last semester, even if that means my hair turns grey in the end. Class of 2019 is ready to take on the future!

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.
