Thoughts Of A High School Senior Vs. A College Senior

Any soon-to-be college senior will agree, entering the final stage of "the best four years of your life" is pretty dang intimidating. In high school, being a senior meant you ruled the school; every student looked forward to the day that their reign as a senior finally began. In college, it's a different story. Ever since we've been college freshmen, we remember looking at the current seniors and pitying them for the little time they had left in this glorious bubble of life. Well, unfortunately, our time has finally come. So this goes out to my fellow incoming college seniors: good luck to us all.

HS Senior: Finally, we're the kings of the school! Bow down measly freshman!
