“Ohhhh Oh We’re Half Way There…” Please tell me you know that song quote otherwise this is a weird intro.

Well, it is true I am halfway through college now and here are some things I think most people (present company included) are thinking after they finish their sophomore year.

How in the WORLD can I be halfway through college!? I am a baby. I just graduated high school. I feel like I have barely even learned anything (or at least retained anything). How am I expected to be an adult in two years?

When thinking about people graduating early it boggles the mind. Why are they leaving early?? They are my age but they are going to be out in the real world 6 months to a YEAR before me. What is that? Why would people do that to themselves? Should I be trying to graduate early…?

Half of my college years are over and I’m not even 21 yet. Wasn’t it in all those “college movies” that they went out to bars constantly? I’ve been here for 2 years and have only been to the two 18 and up bars. I only have two more years to fit the rest of the experiences - I am supposed to have in college- in.

While the future is terrifying I also am kind of feeling like I just want to start working in the field. (Hopefully) I am excited about my future career path and am ready to start. Which brings me to internships.

I need an internship but I didn’t get one this summer. Sophomores need internships too! Yet, few people give sophomores internships. I will have to work really hard to get one next year. And oh my gosh next summer is the last summer I could possibly have an internship before I have to get a real job! What!?

While we are all probably a little freaked out that we are half done or sad that we are only half done, we are farther than a lot of other people got and that is something to be proud of. These last 2 years won’t be easy and probably will go by just as fast. So, don’t blink otherwise it will be 2 years from now and you’ll be forced to be a real adult!
