I'm in the same boat as you. We only have one or two more semesters left. So close... yet so far. It's like we can taste the finish line, but we aren't sure if we want the race to be over. A few of our friends have graduated and made their entry into the scary adult world.
Besides just working on class assignments, we have people constantly asking what we are going to be doing after we graduate. Believe me...it's okay not to know yet. On the other hand, to all those people who had offers 6+ months in advance, congratulations! It's an exciting, yet scary time.
Sometimes sitting through class seems pointless. Couldn't this have been an online class? Why did we have to get out of bed and magically become presentable for the world for a professor to lecture at us? I guess it is better than making it to the office at eight thirty or nine in the morning and staying until five or six. Doesn't seem like we should be complaining about have two classes a day.
It's not just going to class though. The assignments seem to be even more pointless. The number of times we ask ourselves, "how is this ten page paper going to help us?", is ever growing. We've starting turning in assignments halfway done because there are more important things we would rather spend our time doing. I mean, honestly, what was the point in busting our butts freshman and sophomore year to get such a great GPA? Most employers care about experience, involvement and internships over your grade point average.
The expiration date seem to be the biggest stressor right now. If you meet someone you like, you only have a few months left in town. There's a possibility you could be miles or even states away. There's also the possibility that you could stay right down the road. The expiration date also seems to apply to experiences. Packing everything left on your school's "bucket list" seems to be an impossible task. Make it to all of the bars, star gaze from the football field, make it to all of the diners in town and the list goes on an on.
As a soon to be graduate, I have been faced with all of these things. I have spent Saturday nights in applying to looking for post graduate jobs. I have seen friends graduate and enter the workforce with a smile on their face but worrisome thoughts in their heads. I have turned in assignments half finished because I would rather make it to the hockey game that night. It's all about balance, isn't it? Have fun, drink in every last moment, but set yourself up for success. This is one of the last times in our lives where we are adults but it isn't detrimental to ignore our obligations for a day or two.
